@reox: if you are going to use a language,strive to use it correctly. It is the least you can do to show respect to the culture of the people who 'own' it.

Don't you feel good inside when you hear foreigner trying to speak your mother tongue? I bet the feeling is even better when the foreigner becomes fluent in your language.

By the way; I have suggested to several politicians that one way to win the hearts of people during a presidential election would be to learn about 10 of Kenya's 40-odd languages and to use them during the campaign rallies....with a rider that you don't use your mother tongue when addressing your people....

The Brits say inn-ow-vative and the Americans say inn-oo-vay-tive! If you listen to Kibaki's speeches he uses both interchangeably! They are both correct! Plus Americans say shedule and Brits say skedule!

Don't know why Americans insist on saying EyeRack and not Iraq!
