first of al, i checked al the pages of the thread, and i found sum highly offensive cmments, lemme try to put thm here.
i m frm a state board in india, n i dont knw much english, can neither speak or write properly. bt i hv always tried to practise it here or in othr sites, tried to speak in englsh in colgs schools where it ws nt necessry. n i hv found my parents, frnds, n teachers appreciating ma efffort. i hv seen a comment 'my plain question...why speak in English, if you dont know the language..its like, .if one does not know how to dance, why claim and show off ...
this discussion is very much valid, as being a viewer, I can ask "why showing disrespect to a language".. whr n hw ws it a show-off. ths line is plain offensive to me. i speak in broken englsh in conferences, n nw i hv a feeling tht as audience, people dnt like it much? shld i stop tryng tht n strt speaking in hindi whch m good at? if my englsh in stage is disrespcting the language, i shld stp doing tht.
secondly, hv seen a post '
you know why we love people like Seemaji, because they admit they are not educated...and are honest...they dont show off..' . ths is equally offensive, as i hv not got proper education frm englsh medium, i myt b torturing people, tht also i agree to. but my try to improve my language makes me uneducated? i didnt get ths post? seemaji or whoever ( i dont watch the show ) is honest tht she admits she's educated so othrs r dishonest tht they claim to be educated whn they r not?
thirdly, thr ws nother cmment, 'they are college/skool dropouts', so i guess whoever doesnt knw sum tough words, or they keep sayin wrng eng, or they dnno grammar, they r colg/skool dropouts?
speakin eng in bb whch is against d rule is totaly understandable,bt i dint understnd hw we hv got d ryt to demoralize people just becoz they speak wrong grammar.
