Isosceles!

One day in class, after I’d assigned some classword on identifying whether triangles were equilateral, isosceles, or scalene:

Student: Miss Jallow, she [points to the girl behind her] says that at Nassir the teachers pronounce it “isosceleet.”
Me: Isosceleet?
Student: Yes.
Me: Hmm. Well, you know the English spoken in America and the English spoken in England are not the same, they are different. In America the people say isosceles, but maybe, I don’t know, in England the people say “isosceleet.”
Student: Yes, but Bintu was saying in Nassir they say isosceleet.
Me: And maybe the teachers at Nassir speak the English that the people in England speak.

Later that same class…

A student has come to the board to solve classwork problem number three.

Student: It has two angles that are twenty degrees so it is “ishosholeesh.”
Me: Correct, but I think even in England they do not say “ishosholeesh.”
The student grins sheepishly and the class bursts out laughing.
Another student: Even in France they do not say ishosholeesh.
