Mr President, speaking of teaching, here's a free lesson. There's no "r" in the pronunciation of "behaviour", as you were most probably taught at Seychelles College. Unless the word is followed by a vowel, but we can talk about word-final 'r' on a different occasion when I am in a better phonological mood. The rhotic 'r' which you're fond of using is in American English. You're the worst offender in using the tongue-rolling rhotic 'r' and as a result it's catching on. Now, there's nothing wrong in Seychelles developing its own style of speaking English. The Americans, Aussies, Kiwis and Jamaicans have done it. But I think the belief in Seychelles is that adding the rhotic 'r' makes the English sound more English and better, even if other words in the sentence are badly pronounced.
Seeing Radegonde reminds me of this. Is this the most obese government since Albert Rene was dragging his belly on the floor?
