Comments on: Note to Mrs Mizzi: ’emarginati’ translates as marginalised, not as emarginated https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2014/03/note-to-mrs-mizzi-emarginati-translates-as-marginalised-not-as-emarginated/ Daphne Caruana Galizia is a journalist working in Malta.

She wasn’t feeling too comfortable when I saw her. Apart from her comments in public, she remains one of the most unimpressive candidates for the forthcoming MEPs Elections. It looks pretty obvious that her engagement in politics that really matter are definitely over. Not that PL has others who are qualitatively better than Marlene.

Poor old selfie.

Mind you, horsing around and rim notching may also have milder connotations.

According to her this was because it was discriminatory towards those who don’t own a computer. Yet the full fine still applies if you do not check in online, it is only reduced if you forget to take the boarding pass with you.

Here is an example, badly typed on my American English keyboard:

“amilna hafna sangwitches al i’ xallata, u bdijna lewel bil hobs emarginati.”
