Thanks to Neeman Sobhan for the article the hijacking of 'V." She cleverly detected some articulation and spelling problems of English language practised by fairly a large number of people in our country.

Now-a-days, unfortunately, a large number of university graduates in our country cannot speak properly not only English but also the vernacular language. This phenomenon is common in different Bangladesh based satellite TV channels. Some of them have horrible Bengali pronunciation.

Without question, in the last few decades the standard of our education has deteriorated beyond measure. The education system in our country is now like a ship that has run aground and is sinking. Our job is to refloat it and put it back on an even keel. We all need to put our fervent efforts to achieve a high standard of education as well as proficiency in English language.
