Whose English is best? College snobbery

[@bishusinha6458]

Everybody must know that, English is a language not a knowledge.

[@Dhananjaykumar-ro6zg]

Dude! really that's a kind of sentence our current generation should aware of. However, It is of course to see someone like Shashi Tharoor talking and using lots of English words which eventually is a great thing to listen to. Yet like you already said English is a language, not a knowledge. Thank you.

Adding ING to all verbs & adding ISH to noun is called INGLISH, later pronounced as English. Head of state was called K+ING=king, land was called England or INGland. English is the easiest language to learn. Trying to speak like British, people think that one is learning English & speak like Americans. In India we have kanglish, manglish, thanglish & so on.

If you seek to impose Hindi, by pushing it down our throats, we southern Indians are never going to take it lying down. On the other hand, we are open minded in learning foreign languages including the northerner's dialect. But never ever think you can force it down. Can any of the northerners speak any of the dravida languages, just as we speak Hindi ?
