I would say it is false prestige for many women who just want to show-off. In most of the cases it is the children’s own effort which take them to Premier institutions.

Only those who are not confident of their wards behave the way” stupids and idiots “.

To add a few more to Mr.K.sundar’s example on some Tamilian pronouncing.

Police station – Polish tation

Railway station – Railway tation

Spoon Poonu

rubber – lubberu

Note: Above are only few. there are many more

If you are a linguist, the trick is NOT finding the correct word in that particular language, but showing the accent, like a Malayali saying “College”, or North Indian hindi-speaking insisting
upon spelling “r” or “s” however they are silent, like in “Iron” and in “Ischool” (school) and if
you are a tamilian, adding an unnecessary “u” (Super as Sooperu), etc.

Likewise, if you are talking about a surgery, or an area of infection in joints, you can use
the words, Procedure (for surgery) and then, lymphocytes to make others think you are a
doctor, or use the word “adjourning” for postponing a things to sound like a lawyer. The
appropriate jargons are more necessary than the subject knowledge!!

“The beauty of these foreign phrases lie in the confidence with which they are used and not in their meaning..” : very right!

“technical glitches always part of a ppt..” – nothing more truer.

another sidesplitting sunday for me. Thanks bala.
