[wanabidii] Re: [Mabadiliko] English Pronunciation and Grammar

Patty,

Thed only correct way to pronounce the word RUBBLE is R-U-B-L. All the others are wrong. Don't ask me why. You are free to pronounce it any way you please but the correct way is R-U-B-L.

Courage

Hi Maurice, the word rubble, as per dictionary.reference.com, can be pronounced either way depending on the size/shape of the remains in question: 

rub·ble

  [ruhb-uhor for 3, 4, roo-buhl]

Courage!

I continue coming back to you with good news. I'm no longer hearing any mispronunciation on the part of KTN News reporters. I honestly believe that my message reached them. They are now practicing the news scripts before airtime. That's great. I therefore have nothing to report from there.

I must say that the Linda Ogutu and Ben Kitili team has been the most impressive. Hongera kwao; I'm proud of them.

But in the news reports, some people being interviewed made some mistakes that I would like to highlight here just to clarify things.

Someone being interviewed said Humbleness  !!!!!
There's no such a word as Humbleness in English.
The correct word is  HUMILITY.

Another one said Vindictiveness
There's no such a word in English.
The correct word is VENGEANCE

On the pronunciation front, I have:
 
DUE 
Someone said D-I-U.  This is not a sin, just a bit wrong
The correct way is D-U-U
You say D-U-U  D-I-L-I-J-E-NZ   for Due Diligence

RUBBLE ---  The remains of a destroyed structure e.g. Westgate Mall
A field reporter said R-A-B-L   This is wrong.
The correct way is  R-U-B-L

I have this helps.

Courage
