Comments on: Malta it is a two-lingual nazzjoni https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/08/malta-it-is-a-two-lingual-nazzjoni/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

They probably translate from “bajja” (the plural of which, incidentally, is “bajjiet”) and hence they make no distinction between ramla (beach for which the correct translation is not even “bajja” but “indeed “ramla”) and “bajja” meaning beach. Shameful.

I just copied and pasted the comment, including its spelling mistakes.

And as far as I knew, the designated bays covered the months of June to September, which means that in the other eight months of the year you are allowed to take your dog to the beach.

Is that still the case?

No shit at all. I stopped correcting anyone’s grammar. All it does is it stops your career in its tracks because everyone has you down as cocky.

Would you correct your own boss, Harry?

I thought so.

That’s what we’re up against.

So, once the dog does its business, apparently the owner is supposed to pick it up. So why carry the bag … to put the dog in it?
