Someone should teach our children good old grammar

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!
