The author of this rather provocatively titled slim book, an ornithologist by profession and training, is clear about his objective: to draw attention to some of the widely prevalent mistakes in spoken and written Tamil so that the Tamil scholars would join hands in correcting them
Grubh, who has Tamil as his mother tongue, says that, in spite of it being a phonetic language, Tamil has too many discrepancies in pronunciation, and goes on to identify the wrong pronunciation of vowels.
He believes that besides causing confusion in the minds of young learners, the discrepancies make it difficult for foreigners to study the language.
