(1.) Methinks it's wrong to say Mrs Ida Odinga. Should be Mrs Odinga or Ida Odinga(Mrs). If you doubt try Mrs Ida. (2) Kindly advise(not advice) him ... What advice (not advise) did you give him? P.S. Did you know that if you want to avoid Mrs or Mr you don't mention somebody's middle or sur (not sir) name? Simply say James,Simon,Gerald,Ida,Lucy....

Saying 'My names are Kelvin Mantissa' instead of 'My name is Kelvin Mantissa'.

One plus one does not always equal to two.

Those making noise about this topic should watch 'My Fair Lady'. This is a great classic film for any language and grammar buffs. I must admit I fell asleep halfway through because of the exertion of shouting myself hoarse at the Coca Cola Stadium for the Harambee Stars.

The new misuse of 'me'... We were to work on Saturday so we agreed we shall be in office by 1000hrs. I got this sms from one of my seniors. 'xxxx,me just wake up. me coming b4 noon'.... WTH! and he is not the only one... the other day another friend sent me an sms 'Now you know why i do not lend me books.... Enjoying me drink'

Some deals are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

rootings instead of looting......

The fool folds his arms and consumes his own flesh. Better is one handful with tranquility than two with toil and a chase after wind!
