Josette, you cannot understand these people&#039;s foresight.

They are planning the underground to be taht l-art rather than above it so that it can double as a bunker for the entire population of the Sawt.  

It might come in handy when the obscene amount of gas floating in Marsaxlokk Bay starts to pop.]]></description>

This brought back memories of the many stupidities a certain Labour minister had come out with after the takeover of the National Bank. All hilarious, but sadly true. Total ignorance.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Why are people surprised at this?  TVM and many lawyers of all political hues (including ministers) keep referring to &quot;reat kriminali&quot; all the time, even in today&#039;s news, when &quot;reat&quot; already means &quot;a criminal offence&quot;.  

Another error committed in today&#039;s new is the use of &quot;guri&quot; (jury) when no jury is involved - the correct word should be &quot;process&quot;, &quot;gie pprocessat&quot; not &quot;ghadda guri&quot;. 

Another common mistake committed by PBS is the use of &quot;delitt&quot; to mean &quot;homicide&quot; when delitt means crime in general. Just to mention another all too common mistake, many are saying &quot;permess ta&#039;&quot; instead of &quot;permezz ta&#039;&quot;. 

Linguistic competence and precision are sadly lacking in this country.  If we cannot speak our own language well, how can we boast of being a country of good linguists?  I stop here.]]></description>
