As you niggas know I had applied for the LSEG and got shortlisted and had an online interview on Microsoft Teams. Interviewing me was some LTN Britishcel in formals. Probably early-mid 30s.
The interview was going smoothly at first. He began with basic Linux commands gradually moved to intermediate topics and I handled everything confidently. We then koved on netwroking and operating system. What is Malloc, explain the TCP protcools etc. Standard stuff. Then, out of nowhere he asked What is a dangling modifier? I literally never heard that term before in my life. Usually when some interviewer asks me some kind of technical questions. Even if I don't know the answer. I know something related to it or atleast have the context of what he is asking about but this time I was completely blank.
Confused I asked him to come again and he repeated the question what is a dangling modifier in the English language as in the human english language? That made me even more unsure why was this nigga asking me english grammar questions. Did I apply to become an english teacher. I was caging internally and said I don't know.
Then he said βMate, even I know these questions are stupid. Look at my checklist, asking this is one of the mandatory things. Letβs just get this over withβ and he moved on.
He then asked, βWhat is a present participle?β Again I admitted I didnβt know and once again he reassured me βIβll still check this as correct you clearly know what it is and use it properly. Itβs just those -ing words like βrunningβ or βgoingβ. Hahaha. Such a bizarre experience. I've given 100s of interview and never been asked english grammar lmao.
