This is what happens when you employ somebody fresh out of L-Orizzont

Published: July 15, 2014 at 6:45pm

Malta Today has put L-Orizzont’s ex ace reporter John Pisani on its staff payroll. U l-vera wertit, hi. He write de Englent rilly goot. Here’s an example from today’s offering.

Members of the Civil Protection used liquid dispenser which when it dries up it cracks which is much safer then sand especially for motorcycles.

Il-la how nice, Pisani, hi. Ahjar you stay with the Orizzont ghax the England reporting it no goot for you. Maybe for the Saviour it fine, but for the reader it make laugh.

    He wouldn’t make it through the benchmarking exams with that level of English.

    • albona says:

      It is hard to establish a level based on just one sentence but I would give him a B1, no higher. I assume his spoken interaction can be no higher than a B1 either – hardly the level required for journalism.

    • Sufa says:

      Oh yes he would. My children had a good laugh with their bench-marking past-papers, because of the mistakes in them.

    We have not stopped reaching new heights of excellence on all fronts yet have we?

    Liquid disperser Pisani, the dispenser would be the container.

    Ara vera grottlu.

    Pathetic isn’t the right word.

    BS’s mission in life is now to build a hate-the-Nationalists’-guts club.

  9. H.P. Baxxter says:

    John Pisani so funny my sides they crack so much which when it happens I dispense liquids also.

  10. Claude says:

    I can imagine someone telling him “rajt x’ kitbet Defni fuqek” and he finds this article and starts laughing: “Din bija qed titkaza ara kif spelliet Englent”. Ignorance is bliss.

  11. Wilson says:

    It is rather funny but somehow saddening.

  12. Bubu says:

    If Malta Today really had to employ Pisani John, then Balzan Saviour and Degiorgio Roger should also have employed a dedicated sub to work on everything he writes.

  14. observer says:

    Viva l-injoranza. Abbasso l-edukazzjoni u l-kultura.

  15. Ghar u Kasa says:

    16 months in power, and they have made us all cringe already. Viva l-labour Viva l-Labour Hey Hey….slam on Perspex. Viva L-Labour…qisu Nazzjonalist hux Joseph bl’ ingravata blu u backdrop ukoll…

  16. Ivan says:

    Anybody have liquid dispenser? Pisani John he make me crack of laughing.

  17. Banana republic ... again says:

    Maybe Saviour could send him on a course to one of our many “English as a Foreign language” schools.

  18. CiVi says:

    I don’t blame him, he is doing his best in his new job, however much that leaves to be desired. I put all the blame on who gave him the post, but then it takes great knowledge to realize the extent of your ignorance.

  19. Neil says:

    Miriam Dalli reported this morning that a woman who was assaulted this week, suffered ‘a broken lip’, and was ‘conveyed to Mater Dei Hospital in an ambulance for medical treatment’.
