Blogs - Don't even get me started on them. The younger generation seems to think colloquial English suffices in the written form as well. Incorrigible construction of sentences, absolutely horrible prose, meaninglessly long sentences - they spoil your reading appetite at times.<br /><br />PS: Did you mean third war countries or third world countries?Anirudhhttp://rapsterblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619947250483300735.post-79625102544694839032011-05-15T12:55:06.471+05:302011-05-15T12:55:06.471+05:30Beautifully written, or rather expressed.
At the ...Beautifully written, or rather expressed.<br /><br />At the end, it’s about how we express isn't it. I must confess that I wouldn't have read this if it wasn't for the writer cause I am biased for the writer who is SO dear to me. I am a great admirer of language in its most purest form and hate expressions like ‘maine find out kiya hey”(God bless both Kalidas and Shakespear!). So being educated in English I have a special feeling for English but still watch people in awe when they speak the purest Oriya or Hindi or Urdu. Every language should be given its full due, and that’s what gets me hitched to any language when its spoken and written in its unadulterated form.<br />Yes, we are going fast and we are making the language go shorter and it’s shameful, but it’s not the end. There is hope, as we know people who love the language and that may be the only language they know, could be English, Hindi and their mother tongue. They are still unaware of “The Social Network”, they still speak the language in the most purest form, and express it without prejudice but definitely with LOTS of pride, and see we have people like you, inspiring to be Original and Creative. So yes, we are still there.Amarjeet Patnaiknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619947250483300735.post-23710945086366756012011-05-15T09:31:14.426+05:302011-05-15T09:31:14.426+05:30@Shivraj...

There is a thin line between those who have taken the language for granted & who are striving to find their feet in it! The latter should be identified & guided, so that they can become aware of what standards are expected out of them. I believe that the better English they read, the better they write!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376092723846982808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619947250483300735.post-62111096647079643872011-05-14T12:35:56.680+05:302011-05-14T12:35:56.680+05:30Interesting thoughts.

How do we motivate them if we don't read their ordinary writings?Vyankateshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04687142241635628089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619947250483300735.post-83881742807680005512011-05-14T09:26:01.102+05:302011-05-14T09:26:01.102+05:30Well written.

With increasing impact of movies and audio books, the new age has rather stopped reading good English. <br /><br />Suggesting you to do an Anna Hazare to stop the literary corruption. ☺Shivraj Rathhttp://shivrajrath.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
