1. entrepreneurs (the origin’s French)

2. tourism minister. ‘Tourisk’ is not a word.

3.’Whilst’ is outdated. ‘While’ is preferable.

4. ‘its’ is the possessive form. You meant to say “it’s” (it is).

5. ‘academic’, not ‘accademic’

George, not to sound pedantic, but the tab labelled as website (when posting a comment) means that one should type-in the website he is affiliated to (not your email address as you have done)

And by the way, you just confirmed my comment, it’s never late to begin studying, George you impressed me.

Hey BC,

If I were you I would commence with the studies right away. Guess how many errors and mistakes you managed to cram in four lousy sentences? Go ahead, why don’t you.

She means that when you aspire to be a cabinet minister, and tout your ministerial experience as your winning card, you don’t mention your degrees. Neither the first degree nor the last.

I wish at such age I’d have the good grace to retire and not keep hogging the limelight.

BC, one question mark after each question is enough. The extra ones, you can give to Glenn Bedingfield.

And whilst at it, why not ask Corinthia too? They should know something about it too.

To me, its more sensible to vet in such a manner, rather than have you rubbishing his accademic endeavours.

[Daphne – His knowledge of tourism had nothing to do with it (he had no such experience at the time). His Libyan connections did – as with John Dalli.]

Are you seriously stating that studying at a mature age would just be done for showoff??? Or that once it is not your first degree then you should not mention it?? Are you serious about this??

I wish at such age I would still have the will and determination to keep on studying. God Bless him.

Otherwise he would have refrained from referring to the 1970s as the Golden Years.
