PatrOItic

Rubbish teacher. How can a person luring kids to a TV programme say "patroitic" and expect me to let my child watch? I've seen too many kindergarten teachers destroy our kids' speech and pronunciation with 2 decades of undoing to correct. Are teachers at that level not probably the most important? Patroitic? Idiotic!

    Could not agree more. it's heart-wrenching to hear a kid speaking with hideous pronounciations of English words.

      uhm pronunciations. sad to see so many people unable to break from the chains of their early teachers' pronunciations.

    I had a teacher who insisted that forehead was pronounced "FORRID". Luckily, I knew better.

      sorry, raine, but i think it is one of the (four or so) accepted pronunciations of the word. can't agree with you on this.

      yes, thank God. But we can agree that that is more a cultural thing and people's laziness to learn a new 'culture' properly than a straight-out pronunciation problem.
