Well I believe that over-dependence on Google and Net is not very conducive.

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.

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.

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 professor

The 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 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.

Good stuff
