Someone should teach our children good old grammar
Posted Sunday, September 5 2010 at 20:34
In recent years, somebody has been teaching children some funny language, which I believe, they are made to think is English.
We were taught that letter L in “could”, “should”, “wouldn’t” is silent. Youths now talk of “cool”, “shool”, “wooln’t”. Very soon, Kenya will be speaking a language unique to the nation.
Even young media presenters are choking themselves with weird accents. But their English is worse. One said: “It dawned to her”. Please someone, teach these people grammar!

Bw. Onyango, they believe it makes them look modern. Little do they know how shallow they sound. Ever heard of those who start their sentences with 'Az in'. I've always wondered what they mean by saying: 'Az in i tried calling you but your phone was off'.
