  Woman Murders Husband, 2 Children, Then Kills Herself Police say they found the body of suspected killer Angelica Vazquez, 43, and her three family members in their Texas home on Wednesday. The victims are identified as her husband, Marcelo Vazquez, 44, and her two kids, Paulina Vazquez, 21, and Alejandro Vazquez, 18. A handgun was found on the floor near Angelica's body. Police were still searching for a motive on Thursday. Police responded on Saturday after a woman called 911 to report that she'd heard gunfire coming from the Vazquez home.

I can't even express it right now," Gustavo Herrera, a family friend, told WFAA. Another person close to the family told the network that Angelica recently endured chemotherapy tr...

Nigeria: Top 50 Words Nigerians Commonly Mispronounce (I) I have finally yielded to the pressures of my readers who said I should write on Nigerian (mis)pronunciations of common English words. I was initially reluctant to write this for a whole host of reasons. For one, pronunciation is not an ingredient of Standard English; only vocabulary and grammar are. In any case, different national varieties of English have different pronunciations and accents, and none is more "correct" than the other.So there is no such thing as English without an accent.

That is why phonologists (people who study pronunciation and accents) like to remind us that "A person without an accent would be like a place without a climate." Although "Received Pronunciation" (also called "Queen's English,"King's English," or "BBC English") and "...
