Funny Quotes And Pronounciation

I went to the Phonics Workshop yesterday and it was quite exciting.Basically,we learned about pronouncing words properly using the International Phonics Alphabet and also about Received Pronounciation(English Language Of The Highest Class).Believe me,if you overdo it,you really would sound like a 'kantang'.The instructor was a middle-aged lady with an immaculate knowledge of the English Language because she only listens to BBC radio and none other(I dont even know what frequency that channel is) She can identify mispronounced words faster than Michael Schumacher on a Ferrari. If she were to ever visit BMT(Obedience School)at Pulau Tekong(Doom Island),she would faint at the atrocious pronounciation and appalling English spoken there.Hehehe

I asked her how to pronounce 'rebus' becoz someone pronounced it differently from how I do and she thought it was a Malay word as in 'mee rebus'. Kekekeke. When we told her it was English, she said she had never heard of it and asked whether it was a newly-coined IT word. Best thing is, we couldn't find the word in the dic. So leceh one!!!

I guess the Brits at BBC don't play word games huh? Kekekek
