daphne a budget speech? how boring…switching channel now..imma faqani hin minnhom Gonzi qallu superficjali lil Joseph ingrevajjet u makeup haha dahhaqni tnejn.

Would it astound you if I said I have an advanced level of education in both the English and Maltese language…grade D and E true…but still.
Secondly…I’m not obliged to be bilingual…but it would be in my best interest. How annoying! Now I have to use short sentences and make sure I don’t miss an exclamation mark!becuase Sir Temina Daphne Zammit doesn’t like the way I construct sentences. Ha ha how boring Daphne.

Your friends just rioted in france Daphne because they lost their fifa match…ara fiex waslu jahasra l ewropa u int tridna hekk…ikollna noqodu nismaw loghob taghhom nitolbu li ma jitilfux halli ma jifqalnix l faccata tal hanut jew l karozza. Qeghdin sew eh! ma tirragunax la maghkom u qas ma dan nies. Jiddispjacini. I don’t need you to tell me what problems I do or do not have. You do not know me. And your prejudice and speedy judgement just outshines your ignorance. Thanks. Let’s leave the matter here.

“stay focused on the topic not on my syntax and grammar..It would make you look far less stupid.”

Agreed, reading your syntax and grammar does make me stupid. Problem is it’s very hard to avoid.

[Daphne – No. I can’t think of anything more tedious than discussing electricity, unless it’s discussing the budget. But I do have a comment about the rest of what you’ve said: it takes as long to write a proper, correctly spelled sentence as it does to write the sort of thing you do, so you might as well go for the former. If it takes you longer to write properly, this means that you can’t write or spell in any situation (to me, for example, it is correct writing that comes automatically, while I have to stop and think before constructing something like yours). So it is obviously a problem that you need to address, fast, if you wish to get on in life. You really have no excuse. You grew up in a (nominally) bilingual country and have been exposed to English all your life. If Pat can manage it, and he’s a Swede who grew up speaking Swedish in Sweden, then surely you can, too. Even your Maltese is terrible. I’m not saying this to be mean, but because you really have a problem there and you need to solve it. Also, this is not a chatroom, so please don’t treat it like one. Thank you.]

Well, your intelligence seems disputed by several posters, myself included.

Not sure how old you are, but the fact that basic punctuation is as alien to you as rational thought, is a tad worse than Harry not picking up Maltese.

Calling those that don’t agree with you idiots will only enlighten your own ignorance Harry.
second fact..I am at home already…in my families home…which my grandparents..parents worked hard for and sweated their entire lifes. And in my own country born and bred. My train of tought might seem confusing for you, could be also due to the fact that english is not my primary language..funny how in 15 years you didn’t manage to pick up the maltese language..talking about village idiots…indeed.

Ahjar immur, ghax irrid NISKENNJA xi haga u nqeda fil-POKIT biex ma’ ninsihiex meta nkun sejra nixtri SLIPER minghand dak ta’ hdejn il-GROWSER.

I want to scream. Take a look at this, extracted from http://www.kunsilltalmalti.gov.mt/filebank/documents/il-ktieb_finali.pdf :

“n-nom IngliŜ xorta jinkiteb skond il-fonoloāija Maltija
biex b’hekk ikun hemm uniformità fejn jidħol iz-zokk
morfemiku, eŜ. għax ngħidu tiskenja niktbu skener, għax
ngħidu tibbraxxja niktbu braxx, għax ngħidu
tisponsorja niktbu sponsor, għax niktbu timmoniterja
niktbu moniter, għax niktbu tifflaxxja niktbu flaxing”

Antoine, my point is not about bringing Noel Arrigo to justice, but about holding accountable whoever was responsible to appoint an unsuitable person, first as judge and subsequently as chief justice.
