And while on the subject of journalists; who will tell them that the name of their trade (it's NOT a profession!) comes from the word JOURNAL....

Therefore, it is pronounce as "jar-nol-izm"

and NOT "jo-nal-izm"

I do not understand the below in one of our dailies.

Nairobi TOPS Africa in talent survey
Proceeds to say,
In Africa, Nairobi was ranked number five in a list dominated by South African cities.

It managed to beat Alexandria in Egypt and Lagos, Nigeria in that order. Johannesburg topped the list with a score of 47.1 followed by Cape Town, Durban and the Egyptian capital Cairo squeezing.

My deduction.
1. Jnb
2. Cpt
3. Dur
4. Cai
5. Nbo.

Nimechanganyikiwa unless they meant 'tops in EA.
