    Anki Sean jidher espert tal-Malti!. Tal-biza’. Hemm mill-inqas sittax-ii-zball fl-ortografija.

  2. Lomax says:

    People who don’t know how to spell shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a computer connected to the internet.

  3. Mattie says:

    I am shocked to see that they’re still trying to justify things.

    Stupidity makes me mad but what makes it worse is when you see people like the above, acting as though what happened to the university professor never did happen, because they can’t confront the issues.

  4. Antoine Vella says:

    The university cannot do anything with such raw material. They should never have left secondary school.

  5. Stephen says:

    Since I read this “blog mimli hara”, does this make me a “shit starer”?

  6. Etil says:

    Daphne – I would just ignore them completely. What they want is to be given publicity. Poor sods.

    U mbaghad Joseph Muscat jghidilna li qed nghixu f’mument ta’ dlam fejn ma hawnx liberta’ tal-espressjoni. Fejn kulhadd qed jghix fil-biza’ u mhedded.

    Fil-fatt meta nara kummenti bhal ta’ Josephine u ta’ Sean Paul (nista’ nsaqsi dak x’isem hu, jew tqum xi gwerra ohra?!) hekk nghid.

    Mur gibhom ikunu fil-gvern u jkollhom il-poter f’idejhom.

    Is elejjef Dubai’s type of elves?

  9. Jean Paul says:

    Lol, so chavtastic, “dal hin qeda Dubai taqla l elejjef fil gima”.

    taqla l elejjef….

    What’s that supposed to mean? My brain seems incapable of handling stupid.

  12. Farrugia says:

    B.Com: another small corner of flourishing erudition at the University of Malta. Keep it up!

  13. oldtimer says:

    Sean Paul – spjegali ftit xi tfisser “nejnek” – nahseb li int ghandek B.Com ukoll biex tuza kliem hekk tqil

    • N.L. says:

      Jien ma ghandi l-ebda degree u lanqas level ordinarju pero nahseb li l-Malti niktbu ahjar min Sean Paul Micallef.

      Il-habel mhux tbaxxa, bhal ma qal darba x`hadd….. imma sparixxa.

  14. Peppi iehor says:

    I am shaking my head in disbelief. How can it all fly over the top of their heads?

    I hope that, at least, Glanville will ultimately benefit from being reined in, even if the bit is unpleasantly thick on the gums.

  15. Josephine says:

    “l elejjef fil gima”. il-Bambin jgħinna. Dun Karm must be spinning in his grave.

  16. Anon says:

    Ghandhom raġun tafx. Titnejjek b’tal-B.com meta binha tant ma kien tajjeb ghal xejn li spicca jistudja l-GEOGRAPHY!!! Alla ħares ma ġġibx first class f’dak!!!

    [Daphne – Mentalita Mintoffjana. Turi kemm ghadek tahseb bil-mentalita socjalista. Fil-fatt u difficli hafna iggib first class f’kwalunkwe suggett. Ma ggibx first class sforz tal-grades biss. Nammetti li ghandu l-vantagg enormi li jaf jikteb u jirraguna, imma….]

    • Lomax says:

      Incredible that there are people who still think that degrees should be utilitarian.

      Unbelievable!

      • Mattie says:

        Incredible indeed. In a couple of years’ time we’ll hear them say: ‘Zululi minn nofs, ghax ghandi certifikat kbir, bl-isticker hamra, u qlajt il-fwied biex gibtu.’

    • Antoine Vella says:

      Anon, as a matter of fact, I happen to be lecturing Geography students later this afternoon and can tell you most have a very good understanding of many different topics because geography has elements of natural sciences, economics, anthropology, politics, history, current affairs and other subjects.

      I find it far more interesting than, say, accounts or commerce. Can’t imagine spending three years studying money, management, sales, spreadsheets and whatever else B.Comm involves.

    • La Redoute says:

      I am sure there are very many valid graduates who have earned a B. Com degree and who are erudite and eloquent. It’s a shame that their less competent colleagues let them down so badly with their vacant, misspelt and badly punctuated rants. The more of this sort of rubbish pours it, the less I am inclined to engage anyone who list B. Com as a qualification.

  17. Not Tonight says:

    There’ll be a few bad apple on every tree. I don’t think it’s fair on the vast majority of students who never cause any trouble or ever become insufferable show-offs, to be targeted for ridicule.

    My son had economics and accounts for ‘O’ level, economics and marketing for ‘A’ level – B.Com was a natural progression. The world of finance fascinates him. He’s not stupid, not in the least bit violent and he loves nothing more than to mind his own business. I’m sure there are scores more just like him.

    • Ghoxrin Punt says:

      B.Comm is a natural progression only if it paves the way to a subsequent BA, be it in accounts, finance, banking or insurance.

      Remaining at the B.Comm level and not taking it further to a proper degree does not add significantly to a person’s qualification, and I say this as someone who receives scores of CVs from people who wish to start a career in finance.

      The sheer number of B.Comms coming out of university has, in fact, demoted this qualification to a level marginally above an A level.

      If I might be so bold as to suggest, Not Tonight, that you should encourage your son to consider B.Comm as the first stepping stone to further knowledge and qualifications, and not the end of journey.

    Josephine Farrugia’s comment takes the biscuit. I always smile when grown-ups feel the need of their parent’s protection from a blogger. ‘Ma, ghidilha!’ ‘Iva ibni, inpattihielha talli qaltlek hekk, and I MEAN IT! Issa, kompli ixrob dak il-halib’.

  19. TinaB says:

    “Ara jkunx ibni u twaqqaw ghac cajt hekk …malajr innehhilha l-ksuhati l-ghandha!!! AND I MEAN IT!!!”

    Tafff u tal-glied Josephine!

    Typical.

  20. TinaB says:

    “kiku hi anda xi degree ta barra minn aw dal hin qeda Dubai taqla l elejjef fil gima mux tamel blog mimli hara”

    Elejjef x’jahbtu? Nahseb Xoon Pol ried jghid “eluf”.

    Lovely.

  21. Sean Paul Micallef says:

    I want to know how you got access to my Facebook wall without permission. Yes I know it is a public site, but what I write can only be read by my friends. This is invasion of privacy and I demand a reply.

    P.S. All those who think I have bad grammar and orthography are wrong; just because millions, and I do mean MILLIONS around the internet write “badly” does not mean they are idiots; it is merely a way to write faster … and besides, I have the right to say whatever I want on my own Facebook wall.

    Moreover, I am not a B.Com student, and ‘Sean Paul’ is as good a name as any, just as the surname ‘Goodlip’ is.

    That is all. Good day to all. I sincerely hope I offended no one, but I repeat, what I write on my wall is not completely public and I want to know how Mrs. Galizia acquired such information. Thanks.

  22. Sean Paul Micallef says:

    By the way, to all those hypocrites who think they are the only hope for humankind because they think they know everything … the word ‘elejjef’ exists just as much as the word ‘eluf’ does; when one speaks Maltese it is mentioned time and again. Who knows, maybe I use it more often than you because of a dialect? Be that as it may, I do not know why all of you are so SHOCKED at the use of such a word. I’m sorry but it seems to me that yours is a pathetic attempt at looking smart and making me look foolish – it’s exactly like criticizing someone for using the words ‘turġien’ and ‘taraġ’. Grow up.
