Yes, there is! So are outgoing calls!

It is an efficient way of differentiating whether the call was received or made!

Bribe Tracker to Expose the corrupt
We all have paid bribe some time or the other because we were left with no other choice. Many people tend to put blame on bribe givers for the corruption but they don't realize that no body happily bribes some one. Here is an opportunity to punish those who forced us to become corrupt and become a party to this corruption.

Please share your bribe experience at sites dot google dot com slash sites slash letstrackbribes , for all to understand the circumstances under which you were forced to bribe some one. While you are at it, expose the corrupt officer and departments so that others dealing with those offices and officers knows well in advance what to expect. You can also google Bribe Tracker to Expose the corrupt to reach this site.

We already do when we continue to make the mistakes listed in this very article.

But it makes no difference to the British as their language still dominates the world.

They understand that everybody will not be able to speak it like it is supposed to be spoken.

So r a p e by misuse is hardly an insult to them or their language!

I have been working with excellent people from Tamilnadu since 2002. Most of them speak "I am telling you, no" very often.
