The report on the School Final Examination of the United Provinces devotes considerable space to point out instances of mispronunciation. Among the more glaring errors detected in dictation were: (1) “Found of garden in” for “fond of gardening” (2) “Was often hurt shouting” for “was often heard shouting”. The Examiner also writes: “A certain number of boys wrote ‘cot’ for ‘cart’ which is typical of the common Indian mispronunciation of the letter ‘o’ in such words as ‘cot’; the ‘r’ in ‘cart’ and similar words is not pronounced by Englishmen but is only used to lengthen the ‘a’.” He adds: “Many schools suffer from lack of practice in hearing an Englishmen. In some schools the Joint Magistrate or the local missionary has come occasionally to give dictation.”
