Hey!!!
You can read dear friend and leave your opinion…
Pronouncing some English words might show sometimes the effect of the mother tongue….In India often they pronounce the 'th' as D.. an Indian with his wife were at the airport, the officer asked them about their ages.. the man soon answered ' I am dirty and my wife dirty too', he meant of course ' I am thirty and my wife thirty two'.
If you meet a French who speaks English and you don’t want to ask him about his nationality just let him pronounce the word 'HOMS', he will say 'OMS', that's because 'H' is never pronounced in French.
If you meet a Japanese don't be surprised if he (says) 'Sylia' instead of Syria that’s because 'R' is not strongly pronounced in Japanese….also if you want him to get confused just ask him about the population of Japan or Tokyo…they have different numbers end with ten thousands…
Once I met two, an English and an American, they tried to hide their real accent… at last I wrote them a word and I asked them to read it…the word was ' schedule' everyone pronounced it in a different way.. and they looked at each while I was smiling at them telling them their nationalities…
Why do we say 'email' not 'epost'??? easy isn’t it??
Cheers

I believe that each one can make his own language, so start to say epost, and you will drive others to say it like you

Hi Nawal,
I said
'Why do we say 'email' not 'epost'??? ??
I didnt say if we can or not....email is something was invented by the Americans, and there in the USA, they don't use the word 'post' at all, they say mail, by mail, ....and when they invented the Electronic mail they used their word not the English one...this is what I meant and I thought all of you know that.
cheers
