English Vinglish Hayo Rabba!

Sequel to the 'ma' saga-


"Yesterday mah sister slapped moi, how kewl is that?"


Ohh yes! it's very cool so much so that it can be used as a refrigerant!


It has been a common observation that minds of these superstars of India aren't developing in spite of the fact that ours is a developing nation. Until recently, I never used to pay heed to the insensitive and crude attitude of people towards English especially on the social networking sites leave apart blogs and instant messengers. The way these people show their culinary skills towards each word of the language makes me wonder do we really have so many Master chef contests going on?


Surprisingly, these are the people who notices the goof up of 'here' and 'hear'; 'dear' and 'deer'; 'week' and 'weak'; not to  forget 'lose' and 'loose'. Laudable efforts I must say, They now have their own dictionary and ironically they pretend to have a good diction in English.


Their dictionary consists of 'ma', 'mah', 'kewl', 'ne', 'sup', 'lyk','ba','ol','fr','da' etcetera etcetera. The sole reason which emerges behind this inhumane transformation is to sound kewl, whoops cool! Had the reason been shortage of time, then also I would have failed to understand how typing 'kewl' is faster than 'cool'[double 'o' factor]


Recently, when I got placed, somebody posted on my timeline - "Congos buddie..Kary On..ool da bst fr da future". Thank you for the wishes but seriously I would have loved the plain old English, old man you can say! Till date, I have one doubt did he actually use a spell checker for typing 'future'?


It is generally said, the strength of a nation depends on the strength of the army. Considering this, English should have been the strongest but we all kill it everyday. Even imagining how people can misinterpret these words gives me goosebumps. "Have you gone deres" and "have you seen deres" ; “can u cum” instead of “Can you come”; "you have become week" instead of "you have become weak". Another set which is generally abused to the core is “Literally and figuratively”!!!


Busy is man who has no work<weird?> but whoever initiated this language, must really have been a busy man. He failed to understand that while he was busy murdering infact raping one of the most advanced linguistic means of communication, there are hundreds of kids preparing for various competitions and exams. But how can one man do so much work?Has English has been gang raped?


A sincere request to all, especially those who are in the process of raping English, please don’t kill this language or any language for heavens sake. Stop showing off the kewlness arrghh..coolness of yours this way. It definitely makes you a nincompoop! Amen!
