Angrezi Misuse

‘English is a very funny language’

This is one sentence that every teacher uses in her class, but for different reasons. The English teacher uses it to make her subject more interesting. The Hindi teacher uses it to ridicule the defacto world language. Well, other subject teachers also use it, but that’s only when they don’t know the pronunciation, or perhaps they had the ’sleep of tongue’.

What ever the reason … I am sure you have heard this sentence hundreds of times.

Statistics show that this sentence is used only in countries where the people have bad (and i mean really bad ) grammar. Oh yeah, how else would they be exposed to the funnier side of the language which has tortured me for what seemed to be like a lifetime.

Indian people seem to believe that they have the liberty to place a ‘a’, ‘the’, and ‘na’ where ever they want. Why then have they got a reputation of being miser ????????

• “hey dude, I have to go to a party , but I dont want to go alone. Please give me a company na “Dude, Sorry I cant give u the company because it belongs to my father. Will have to ask him first.
• “Hey, you are coming to college, na?”Do you even want me to answer that? If yes …WHAT ON EARTH AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY???
• “sorry dude, my bad.”huh?what are u talking about ? bad what? isn’t it a freaking ADJECTIVE??? you are supposed to DESCRIBE something. DESCRIBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! argh!!!!!!

Well agreed, there is a serious problem with English in my country. But should we really try and improve our English or actually go ahead and explain that the true meaning of our English has much more depth than the comparatively shallow Brit English which only has a snobbish accent. It wouldn’t be the first time that this has happened.

It happened in 1590-1591 when this seemingly crazy English guy came up with his own English and became one of the most famous playwrights in the history of mankind.Making a big mess of his own language was successful in bringing him the title of ‘Sir’.

Wow, this could be the next level of global exposure to Indians. They are not supposed to make sense anyways, the perception depends on the reader. So be it……!!!!!!
There could be a modified English for every state of this diverse country

• Maharashtraian English
• Gujarati English
• Goan English
• Karnataka English
• Tamil English
• Punjabi English

And the best of the lot

‘BIHARI ENGLISH’ or Yadavian English….
