I warned people about bubblews and tinycent. I rem. being on this site when someone wrote how he had just spoken to the owner and the site is legit.
I knew it was a scam so didn’t bother.
This one has the safe guards… firstly… they control the publication of your work, so slow it down so you can’t reach a redemption they can’t pay.

Interesting how you describe the BBC News reports. My husband would rather watch the BBC. He thinks it’s better than the American news. That’s not saying much for our news in America. I have learned to listen to all news report with only one ear and hope that helps filter out the garbage.

Those of us who live or grew up in the ex-Colonies, (or colonies) always listened to the BBC. Once they gave you the news you needed to know because they were there. There were no Jamaicans at the Press Conference at the Whitehouse, or on the streets in Hungary.
So we listen as we grew up learning to do. But, over the years, as the BBC has deteriorated, it is still better than the American news, but not by a mile.

If the speech is governed by language traditions and phonetic guidelines we can not find fault with their speech This is the most refined way of speaking a language.
After this stage the actual damage will start. They research, they make alterations, move and copy other words from others in order to move freely in the society. Hence the language will be distorted, twisted, mingled, minced, and what not many styles spring out as per one’s own choice which they want others to follow. Here comes the trouble. It is nothing but forcing the opinion and style on others. This is not good. Really not good.
I recollected the incident which happened in the university I have studied.
It was a farewell party to the final year M.Sc students. We arranged and organized the party.
A student from Satya Sai college came to the dais and has given a speech. The words he used, the expression he used everything was highly selected was a great effort he made throughout the night referring the dictionary. The effort he made could force some including our Professor to smile at the end of the speech. There was silent even after the completion of the speech as no one knows what he said and where did he stop.
When I talked from the same dias there was good response from all the students and other colleagues. There was a big applaud as everybody could understand what did I speak and how did I express my feelings towards my seniors and gave them a farewell message. I have not used even a single word which could not be comprehended by any of the spectators and another professorThe tone I used was in proportionate to the size of the Auditorium, the words were simple, there was no resounding, there was no resounding of voice or tone.
Always speak in a language with a clear tone, using simple words that can be understandable by others. It is only then the speech will carry any effect on others.
Otherwise, it is like speaking in Spanish before an Italian.-
It is the words and how they are spoken, but also, as you said, knowing what you are saying.

It is the way of talking in a kind of slangy/patwa which, for those who know it, means the chatters aren’t saying anything. It is just noise.

Well it sure sounds like he’s a crook!

Oh yeah. He is, and he’s in jail. The good thing is that his behaviour encourages others to experiment.

No disrespect to my late mother but … she always gave me good advice. However, she also did not practice what she preached. Consequently, not only did I receive the benefits of being taught or guided by her to avoid many pitfalls in my life; but I also got to see what happened when she didn’t follow her own advice. Then I knew for sure that her words of wisdom were the right path for me to take.
-
The point is that some people learn from their own mistakes, some from the mistakes of others, and some never learn. It always seems strange to me that when one follows advice and falls on their face, they should instantly put an ‘X’ to that person’s name, not return again and again.

Well I believe that over-dependence on Google and Net is not very conducive.
Over dependence of course… but to read/hear and not have that normal human skepticism… and not check it out?
One of my brothers once told me something that I’ve never forgotten. He said: “You can read anything you want to read. But you don’t have to believe everything you read!” 🙂
Yes. Some people need to recognize that not everything that is published is true.
That’s the key issue. You read something, check it out. It’s the famous story of Douglas Spearman. He’s a minor actor. He learned he had AIDs by reading his Wiki entry. He contacted the owner and the item was removed. But he pondered, how many people reading the ‘authority’ Wikipedia believed it.
