fine piece of work, olawale. i however thought wednesday was pronounced "wenzdi", rather than "wensdei" as you stated. here are some other common mistakes we make in english language usage:

sometimes last year (wrong)
sometime last year (right)

convocating students (wrong)
convoking students (right) (come to think of it, do you "invocate" spirits?!)

an hausa man (wrong)
a hausa man (right)

an european sailor (wrong)
a european sailor (right)

i've being calling you (wrong)
i've been calling you (right)


thanks for[b] been[/b] there (wrong)

birds of the same feather fly/flock together (wrong)
birds of a feather flock together (right)


i shall pay instalmentally (wrong)
i shall pay in instalments (right)

i am going to a send forth party (wrong)
i am going to a send-off party (right)

now, when we say that power supply is epileptic, what do we really mean - because "epileptic" cannot quite be used in the context of power supply, so what are we trying to say? is it that power supply is erratic or that it is unavailable most of the time?
it is also imperaqive that media outfits(electronic & print) take pains to proofread what they give out as they often broadcast or publish stories that are filled with grammatical and other errors.
