On a light note....when you talk about your kids improving their maths by using KhanAcademy.com wewe ni Mbabi,..(even if you are in denial) :)

Seriously though, all this talk about Konza etc will be to naught if we:-
1.  improve our education System
2.  Make connectivity as universal as possible
3. And start behaving like WAUNGWANA

Hi All,

I believe that if we are serious about turning sheng into a formal language then we need a site like http://www.urbandictionary.com/ if we are to harmonise across the country or region.

As I keep repeating, annoyingly, I grew up in eastlands (mimi sio mbabi) and one thing I know is that sheng is not homogeneous beyond 100 meters of where you are standing.
