Tongue Misdemeanor

One of the few similarities between AU and CLSU is that the names of both schools are often mispronounced. I have been commuting to and fro San Antonio and CLSU for almost a decade now. Napakadalas na may nakakasakay akong estudyante na kung hindi sa Araullo bababa eh sa CLSU. It was not just once that I have heard a student saying /si-ley-shu/ or /si-el-es-shu/ for CLSU /si-el-es-yu/ or /o-rol-yo/ for Araullo /a-rawl-lyo/.

So, ano ang social significance nito? Wala. Napansin ko lang.

nice observation.

nung nag aaral pa ako jan sa science high, weekly din akong nagta travel from licab to clsu.

madalas ko ring napapansin yang mispronounciation na yan. sabi pa nung isa:

si el ey su.
