It has been more than 60 years that British left.... I don't know what they did but generation after generation after generation there are some who still live in inferiority complex....the writer belongs to that category.....

exactly you are right, but 90 percentage of work which we are getting from abroad that too we have to communicate with foreign clients based on their native language, can't help out. We have to still rely on them...:(

Same is applicable with Hindi or any other language..
If you are talking about language then it should be perfect but if you are talking about craze then it don't need to be..

Hindi is a confused undefined language. It is written in one form, spoken in another, and what goes on in Bollywood is Urdu. It has pbbly no dictionary that regulates which words are Hindi and which are not. wonder how such a hodge podge confused linguistic form was chosen to be a link language. The national language should immediately be replaced by Bengali or Sanskrit.

I like your little speech, but unfortunately it's their language, so while use it, you have to go by their rules.

You do have another option though... do not use English. Use your native toungue.

Nonsense Article: 10 Common spelling mistakes Indians make
by vivek kumar on Dec 06, 2011 07:18 PM

No Work today so read this nonsense article.....

I didn't get any answer right but I will keep repeating the same over and over again...

I don't feel the need to excel in spoken or written English ...so keep this crappy article with yourself ....

English is not my first language...its neither my second...its simply a language we chose to communicate amongst people without any common language amongst them.....

Hope that's clear...

Not common
by sarkar on Dec 06, 2011 07:13 PM

I don't think we Indians make such common in English. In fact, Indians have a good reputation all over the world for using standard and grammatically correct English.
I am sure many rediff users got full marks.

What I should do ?
by Chandu Ji on Dec 06, 2011 12:05 PM  | Hide replies

Guys.. I got all the sentences wrong.not a single "Fill in the Blanks" correct.

So what should i do ?

I asked the same thing from my best friend he told me to"Go and Suicide"

I am going to suicide in one of "NALA" near my place today but first i thought that may be some ppl here on Rediff can give me "Correct" advice.

I still think that i gave my 22yrs to learn this "Great", so called "language" and see now what i found,......."I an Good for Nothing".

Good Bye "MY ZINDAGI"
GOOD BYE All ! ! !
