[Mabadiliko] English Pronunciation and Grammar

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
