Test Of English As Mother Tongue (TOEAMT)

All those who claim English as their mother tongue need to take this exam (like our TOEFL, Test Of English as Foreign Language). Just to make sure they are not mocked at in public by those who have to take TOEFL.

Why?

I heard a Radio Jockey (RJ), a native Canadian who works for one of the respected FM radio stations here in Dubai saying something like this “Mr Geoffrey wants to say something to us on the air

Well, I thought the correct usage is “Mr Geoffrey wants to say something to us on air

The irony is that he doesn't seem an Indian migrant. He claims he is authentic Canadian.
