Wrong pronunciation and choice of words
It is indeed shocking to observe that the news casters and other media personalities (both electronic and print) make silly mistakes every now and then. For example, often "airport" is pronounced as "ear-port." I really do not know what "ear-port" means.Then there is one renowned Editor Journalist, who hosts talk shows on television almost every other day late at night, no doubt he is a very good presenter and a host. The problem is quite often he utters the word "yeah" instead of "yes", both are correct, but its use denotes a person. Perhaps he is not aware that "yeah" is a word that is mostly used by Dick, Tom and Harry in a society where English is the predominant language and is widely spoken. My intention is not to hurt or humiliate the learned journalists or media personalities, rather to make them aware about the mistakes that we all do often times, by pointing out those for necessary correction.
