MyCommunicative English lecturer cum tutor, Mr David, has this habit of teaching us new words and how to pronounce them. So today, he listed down a few words and started asking us the correct way to pronounce them.

Mr David : G - a - o - l.
Kyle : GA - WOL!
Anne : GOAL!
Mr David : It's the place where you put prisoners in.
Amelia : So, it's a prison cell la? How do you pronounce it?
Mr David : What's another word for prison?
Amelia : Jail.
Mr David : THAT'S how you pronounce it.
The WHOLE Class : HAHHHHH? Sir, you lying la sir!

And then he gave us some French words such as melange.

Mr David : How do you pronounce m-e-l-a-n-g-e?
Kyle : ME - LON!

After he corrected Kyle,

Mr David : E - a - u d - e t - o - i - l - e - t - t - e?
Kyle : EWWW, THE TOILET!

I tell you, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear that Kyle was trying to single - handedly destroy the English language.

And lastly,

Mr David : C - h - a - n - e - l?
Class : Sha - nelllllllll!
Mr David : Ah, you don't go pronouncing it as Channel okay?
Kyle : Sir, judging from your expression, I'd say that you have had a bad experience concerning this word right?
Mr David : No. My friend went up to a counter and started asking for Channel No 5.
Kyle : "Your friend" ah sir?! *wink wink*
