call her faculty’s secretary

[Daphne – Why would I bother.]

First of all I might not be an english expert but I am proud to know my language well and proud to be Maltese. Further more I just made my point in regards of the way Ms. Daphne judged this student nothing less, nothing more. Just to give you the full information the paragraph began differently but for some reason the system deleted it and mind you it had no rude words at all, but if the first sentence was deleted it means that she did not want it on the blog and I will not re-write it again. My whole point was not to judge, everybody can get frusrated and who says he never gets frustrated and can control himself in any situation, he definitely is lying. Thanks Richard.

On Facebook:

“Pia Zammit you weren’t kidding well done girl

You did write this, Pia, did you not?

Why are you congratulating the girl? For her foul language?

Basta nidhru progressivi, mal-ewwel “prosit!”

Fejn jaqbel lilha taghtihom il-lezzjonijiet tal-Ingliz DEFNI! ;)

“Ha qed tara! Hadna xi haga mil-pompozita u ta’ Defni.”

should be:

“Ha qed tara! Hadna xi haga mil-pompozita ta’ Defni.”

by the way, just in case you were intending to explain to me that my Maltese is also flawed. ;)

Jamie, I actually catch the 31 not the 202 to go to university. Since I start at 8a.m or 9a.m everyday, it can take even longer than that to get to uni, due to all the early-morning traffic, countless detours and full buses.

As a frequent passenger on the 202 bus, you can explain to Daphne that there is, in fact, a bus which goes from Attard to Naxxar. ;)

Daphne, you mostly caught me out for using capital letters instead of lower-case letters or vice-versa, which I personally disregard while typing, sorry, but that doesn’t mean that I’m unable to speak proper English, just that I’m a careless typer. Nevertheless, I’m thankful that you pointed out to me that the phrase “It is truly a disgust” is grammatically incorrect, as it sounded good to my ears.

Ha qed tara! Hadna xi haga mil-pompozita u ta’ Defni.
(I hope you don’t intend to pick up on my failure to use proper Maltese letters :P)

On a more serious note, I frequently read your blog and agree with you on most things, my sole intention was to correct a number of mistakes of fact which I came across in the above article, that’s all!

People have been complaining politely for months and nothing happened. Its still worse than it was before.
