Dear Sigarri,

I wouldn’t rush into judging anybody by his/her “bad Maltese spelling”.

How would you judge Dante or Shakespeare?

I can assure you that Daphne, unlike myself, does not only have a perfect command of English but even of Maltese.

By the way, nice to have you back – actually I thought you would be occupied in preparing for, what you call festa.

He is a dyed-in-the-wool Mintoffjan. A dinosaur.

“Fl-ahhar elezzjoni ivvutajt …….”

Z****** f ‘ ******.

Let’s keep it clean shall we?

I understand that some people are just to lazy or too ignorant to write correctly in their native language.

What I don’t understand is why the errors they make are pretty much always the same. Using “q” instead of “gh” and vice versa, using a double consonant instead of a single one and vice versa, using “c” at the end of a word rather than “tx” and several other common errors.

It’s like they all were taught Maltese by the same inept teacher. I wonder if there is some standard method of teaching Maltese in government schools that is resulting in this mess.

Il-kelma hija ‘grat’ hierga minn ‘gratitudini’, u mhux ‘grad’.

Grad huwa per ezempju kif tigi fl-ezami, nghidhu ahna iggib 100 fil-lerigin meta tkun fil Form IIC, pero xorta wahda ma tkunx taf kif tispelli.

She may be the twin sister of Mary Mifsud.

There are some others that end with “and the beat goes on … and the beat goes on …” Tal-biki.
