Excuse my typographical errors in the preceding mail. I've now corrected them here. I have to follow my own rules.
Let me take this opportunity to add another word that I've heard Uhuru utter in the past:
The word is COALITION
He said: Ko-a-li-shon
He should have said: Ko-o-li-shon
Now I feel better.
Courage
Anna,
I can not excuse Uhuru because he attended university in Boston, US. Also, he attended St Mary's School in Nairobi, a school of multimillionaire and billionaire kids where English was the only language the kids spoke. They did not even speak Swahili or any ethnic language in that school. I could have excused any other politician in Kenya but not Uhuru.On Mon, May 27, 2013 at 5:17 PM, Maurice Oduor <mauricejoduor@gmail.com> wrote:

Subject: [wanabidii] English Pronunciation
--CourageThank you.He should have said: e-raHe said (I'm using Swahili as base for pronunciation): i-raI don't want to come across here as being pedantic but I heard President Uhuru Kenyatta say something that I can't excuse. Uhuru attended university in Boston and has no excuse to mispronounce such a simple English word. He was giving a speech at the AU conference in Addis.He wanted to pronounce the word ERA
