how to teach english - not!

NOTE: In normal conversation Americans say "meechuh" for "meet you" so that the t plus y becomes ch. Students should be encouraged to pronounce it this way.

Really? since when was it encouraged to teach people to pronouce things wrong? This was written in a text that i was using to make some worksheets for the agricultural college students i will be teaching next week... I dont think i will be following it too closely now..
