Cultural? Hardly.
This website is read first thing in the morning by all goverment members and staff.
To err is human. To correct one’s error – even to avoid being ridiculed any further – is gentlemanly.
To err is human. To err in grammar when you’re a Cabinet minister is imbecilic.
It is not imbecilic. It is a disgrace. He didn’t err. He didn’t know the difference.
I remember my mother, well over sixty years ago, shouting aloud:
“If you can count them, you say many”.
But then she was one of a mere handful of female students from Malta who passed their Senior Oxford examination in English Language in 1936.
I see the situation has not improved appreciably since then.
It seems that those who say they do not read this web site actually do.
“Hello, my name is Owen Bonnici and I read Daphne’s website.”
“There, there, now that was not so difficult, was it?”
Or more appropriately:
“Hello, my name is Owen Bonnici and I take advice from Daphne’s website.”
You bet this website has its uses. It has become a reference point – for everyone.
More culture in a petri dish.
This buffoon is certainly most at home in a Carnivalesque habitat.
How much roads must a man walk down before you can give him a star.
Much
But then what does Owen Bonnici know about art, culture and English?
Small wonder that King Carnival was an advert for Maltese “culture” with a timber balcony, echaugette (gardjola), a knight and Mattia Preti(?) together with a mention of V18 if the Minister of culture believes carnival to be amongst the top carnival festivities.
Cultural. Priceless.
