R E A D

WAND of a kind

One of the mistakes. One of the errors. One of the glaring boo-boos. One of the on-going blunders  that is circulating in the  grammar world is the phrase One of The. X    One of the chair O    One of the chairs X   I acknowledge the presence of one of the judge! O   I acknowledge the presence of one of the JUDGES!

New or No. Oh NU!Oh NOO

The word is maneuver. It has three syllables which the second one should be STRESSED. Maneuver. /muh NOO ver/ or   mənuvər (yes, Ramon, it has 2 schwas!) To help your memory about the 2nd syllable--that is should be uttered LOUD and clear--I have a little mnemonics for you to do--and remember: The man maneuvers his way inside the two giant culverts (Imagine the 2nd syllable here: NOO. Doesnt it look like the opening of a culvert, right? What is a culvert? Ok, first, you google it. click the images. Let it sink it into your intelligence. Then, do this little mnemonics of mine!)   Welcome to my pronunCHOItion. I hope this would bring CHOI to the world on you. Remember the CHOIces are in the CHOIllables. Pardon my generous amount of pun!
