| PARENTS: Ask your children to pronounce these words - Test them vs. Chimpy |
|
Edited on Sun Jun-06-04 08:07 PM by jackstraw45
"Tyranny"
"Hundred"
"Nevada"
"Terror"
"secretary"
"business"
"window"
"nuclear"
"charismatic"
And, for extra credit, "Abu Ghraib" and "monsieur"
If they were able to read and pronounce ANY of these words properly, you can tell them:
"You have better reading skills than the President of the United States."

| 2. Yeah, I know there are many...just took a recent sample |
|
of words the Chimp couldn't read.
Abu Gharib is the best because he had practiced the speech ALL day....

Actually, that would be a HILARIOUS Moveon.org type of commercial contrasting a 5 year old pronouncing these words contrasted with the Shrub mispronouncing them.
Would be absolutely priceless and a nice companion piece to their earlier child labor commercial.

| 9. test their diction as well |
|
Have them say things that end with an "s" (e.g. 'weapons of mass destruction') without hissing like a poisonous snake and allowing the "s" to turn into a quasi-drunken "sh" sound.
It's easy, really, if the kids aren't drinking and/or drugging.
