Too bad a lot of my friends on FB are English teachers so they hardly ever (if at all) commit mistakes. Most definitely NOT in wall messages and status which can be read by EVERYONE!
I painfully remember my pronunciation booboo during a recorded lesson no less... DANDELION. The student asked me how it is pronounced and I cheerfully told her it's pronounced dan'-de-lyon. Gadratz. I told my friends Vina and Kalon the disastrous act and because of its novelty and the loving support from my just-named friends, the whole office heard about it. Big boss Bobby even had a loop of it on his iPod. Hmmm, technology baffles me, too. On a record, on a tape, on a CD, therefore, on an iPod, right? Double gadratz! I sternly told everyone to address me as MRS. DE LEON, not just Dan de Leon.
Talk about disrespect! LOL.
