Pussyisfood: Today we shall be learning 35 words that are commonly pronounced incorrectly, and how to correctly pronounce these.
Let's begin
1. Pronunciation Although we pronounce the word, pronounce as /prə-nouns/, the correct way to pronounce the word pronunciation is /prə-nən-si-'ei-shən/.
2. Says This word is commonly mispronounced by people learning English as /saiz/, but the correct way to pronounce the word is /sez/.
3. Etcetera (etc) Although many people pronounce the word as /ek-'se-tra/, the correct pronunciation however is /et-'se-tə-rə/ or /et-'se-trə/ (this pronunciation is less common but it's ok).
4. Often Now many people pronounce this word with the t. That is not wrong, but a more preferable pronunciation is /ɒ-fən/.
5. Women Nigerians alike have perfected the art of mispronouncing words. Now although we pronounce woman as /wu-mən/, the correct pronunciation for the word women, is infact /wi-min/.
6. Police The correct pronunciation is /pə-'lees/. shikenan
7. Vehicle If you guessed /'vee-ə-kl/ then you are correct.
8. Genre The correct pronunciation for this word is /'zhɒn-rə/.
9. Video The important thing to note in this one is that the i and the e are pronounced as short i sounds. So it's /'vi-di-o/. Tan queue, Shola.
10. Comment Most speakers in Nigeria will pronounce this word as /kə-ment/ or /koment/, but the real pronunciation is /'kɒ-ment/. The secret is in realizing that the stress is in the first syllable. You can simply watch this 9 seconds video for the vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLYU2hfzOyQ
11. Suite This word is pronounced, /'sweet/ and not /'soot/
12. Restaurant This word is not pronounced, /'rest-orant/ as many Nigerian speakers will make us believe, as a matter of fact the correct pronunciation for this word is /'res-tə-rɒnt/. You might hear some British speakers pronouncing this word as /res-trɒnt/. This is also correct
13 Sewage I hear a lot of Nigerians pronounce this word as /'sea-wage/. This is incorrect as the correct way to pronounce the word is /'soo-ij/.
14. Breakfast /'brek-fəst/
15. Vegetable The e after the g is silent, and so the pronunciation is /'vej-tə-bl/
16. Cucumber Ladies and gentlemen, it's not /'koo-koom-ba/. It is /'kyoo-kəm-bər/. Also make sure you pronounce the r
17. Lettuce This vegetable is called /'letis/
Many word in the English language have silent letters or alphabets we don't pronounce. Take for instance
18. Receipt Here the p is silent, and so the pronunciation becomes /ri-'seet/.
19. Debt Here too the b is silent in this word, and so the pronunciation becomes /'det/.
20. Mortgage This word that means a loan that a bank gives you to buy a house is actually pronounced /'mor-gij/ and you have to pronounce the R too. It's not there for nothing.
21. Subtle How will you say this word? It is /'sə-tl/ because the b is silent.
22. Singer In this word, the g is silent and so our end pronunciation is /'siŋ-er/. Other words like younger and finger have the G present but not in singer... no, it's not.
23. Plumber The mistake that Nigerians make is pronouncing this word with the B in it and so replacing the R with an A. The correct pronunciation for this word is /'pləm-ər/.
In many words when you have the combination letters, m and b, the b is silent. Like comb or climb or even thumb and tomb
24. Bury Apparently one of the words that Nigerians pronounce correctly is bury. It is pronounced /'beri/ as like berry. Forget those Nollywood actors.
25. Wednesday This day of the week is pronounced without the first D. The pronunciation is /'wenz-deɪ/.
26. Sword This word is pronounced /'sord/ with the R inclusive. So don't go pronouncing the word as so:d then that will just be absurd.
27. Arctic /ark-tik/
28. Mischievous I hear a lot of people pronounce this word as /'mis-chi-vi-yourz/, and that is wrong. The correct way is /'mis-chi-vəs/.
29. Tuition The right way to pronounce this word is /tu-'wi-shən/. British call it /tyu-'wi-shən/. Both are correct.
30.Zoology If you pronounce the word as /zoo-lo-ji/ or /zoo-a-lo-ji/ then you're wrong. The correct pronunciation for this word is /zo-ɒ-lə-ji/.
31. Develop /di-vel-əp/
32. Photography /fə-'tɒ-grə-fi/
3. Jewelry Although it's spelt differently in American and British English, the pronunciation is the same. /'joo-əl-ri/
34. Quote Often mispronounced the same as coat, the correct pronunciation for this word is /'kwot/.
35. Schedule American pronunciation is /'ske-jool/ and the British pronunciation is /'shɛ-jool/ or /'shɛd-yool/.
36. Bonus lesson Am is a state of being verb. I'm is a contraction that means I am. So how we came to a point where people use 'am' in place of 'I'm' is mind boggling.

AlanTuringAI: That's because you choose to see what you want to see. You don't make categorical statements like your first sentence without checking facts. Are you implying that students from other technological schools are not good enough when compared with FUTO students? Students of FUTA have been building drones, as singular projects, not group projects like this one and such news abound in the education section of this forum. At least there was one that recently constructed a drone all from scratch using locally made materials. See link: https://www.nairaland.com/3413006/futa-student-builds-drone-locally

Baba had invited a babe and she was coming with her friend (private uni babe on hols) whom he wanted me to meet, say na my spec. I agreed when he showed me the friend's picture cos the babe was confirmed doctor's prescription and Lord knows I was not feeling fine
Up next you know the usual: follow up. Calls, pings[bbm was the shit then]. We were flowing like river Niger but babe was giving me mixed signals. Today, we'll be sweet and all, next day she'll be all ' new phone who's this?'

Fourwinds: BY ALAN LOUGHNANE TECH | Take note... No matter how good the battery is on your smartphone, if you're using it heavily, it will barely last you an entire day. For some people the reality is even worse, with an old iPhone 5 I used to have, if I managed to get eight hours of life from it, I'd consider myself very lucky. Things got even worse as the battery aged. But, there's a long-held belief that charging your smartphone in short bursts will cause long term damage to the batteries, and you're better off waiting until they're close to dead before charging them. But this isn't true according to a site belonging to battery company Cadex called Battery University . They argue that leaving your phone plugged in when it's fully charged (like say, if you put it charging overnight) is bad for the battery in the long run. Once your phone reaches the desired 100% battery when it's plugged in, it receives "trickle charges" to maintain the battery at full charge. This keeps the battery high-stress, high-tension state that wears down the chemistry within the battery and is bad for it in the long run. Advertisement Therefore, you should plug out your phone as soon as it's charged, and don't leave it charging overnight, which we guess about 98% of the population do. You don't even need to charge the battery fully every time you use it. "Li-ion does not need to be fully charged as is the case with lead acid, nor is it desirable to do so. In fact, it is better not to fully charge because a high voltage stresses the battery," according to Battery University. Basically, anytime you've a spare few minutes, you should try and plug your phone in rather than doing one mammoth charge at the end of the day.
