English Language At Its Worst! When The Mighty Vatican Mis-spelled JESUS




English Language is the pure language. Used by many countries as their official language in the world today, it has certainly gone far than just speaking.


It is written down and even used as a communicating language between a man and a pet.



But, the language value is depleting.


The Vatican dosen't take English seriously. The Pope must be fluent in Italian, Latin, and English, but this was added after many countries made English their official language.


The problem with English can be expressed in a lot of ways. For example: A Leave-letter from an employee who was performing his daughter's wedding: "As I am marrying my daughter, please grant a week's leave.." And he submitted it.


That's English at its worst.


We also have spelling misconstruction. An instance when Jesus was wrongly spelled.


In 2013, The Vatican decided to produce medals to honour the beginning of Pope Francis' Papacy. On one side of the medal, was a portrait of Francis, and on the other, a Latin phrase that inspired the Pontiff as a teen to pursue Priesthood. About 6,200 medals were produced. However, along the line, an error was spotted. It was discovered that Jesus' name was mis-spelled as "LESUS". The church had to act fast. An order was given that all the medals should be recalled. But, 4 medals had already been sold. The Vatican made a mistake on English!


But what would the wise man say? No one is above mistakes?


Accent is another hinderance. Africa has a history for that. Tataulogy and other mis-constructive spellings are the bane of an Anglicised nation.


Does this mean that our school teachers are not helping? It depends on their qualification, dosen't it?


But i tell you, we've also got "quack" English teachers, or whatever dennotation or moniker you wish to use. What would be our way out? I gues there should be a part 2 of this.
