[Mabadiliko] English Pronunciation

Yesterday, while watching some news item on a discussion in Parliament, I saw some MP from the Turkana region mispronounce a very common word, LIABILITY. I don't think this word should pose any challenge at all; it's a fairly common word.

Let's see:

li·a·bil·i·ty

[lahy-uh-bil-i-tee] 

noun, plural li·a·bil·i·ties.

1.

liabilities.

a.

moneys owed; debts or pecuniary obligations (opposed to assets ).

b.

Accounting. liabilities as detailed on a balance sheet, especially in relation to assets and capital.

2.

something disadvantageous: His lack of education is his biggest liability.

3.

Also, li·a·ble·ness. the state or quality of being liable: liability to disease.

LIABILITY

The MP said:             L - I - A - B - I - L - I - T - I

The correct way is:     L - A - Y - A - B -I - L - I - T - I
