Rama's Book of Political Verse

Can't speak for him, but I'm pretty sure Blatham dint mean to squash nothin....

Just teasing.

Most of the dead participants of ABUZZ had posted many critical views of my wrong usuage of English.

I chat in Der Spiegel where many Americans are active.
I Chat in Times of India where all the Indians around the globe with high standard of english.
I had chatted in Yahoo where my English had not played any role..
Opposing hypocracy is my main English.
Supporting the decent humanbeing is my barbaric culture.

Cultivating to fellowhood is main my to if you please

Do you have a job? I mean a real job- like a pizza delivery boy?

I take your advice sir.
Thanks.
Culture without violence is imbibed in my blood
as civil courage to expose my innocence or ignorance.
Rama

Snood is very wise and it is good for you to follow his advice.

No.
I had never been to school nor worked anywhere.
Anymore question?

No, I think that covers it.

I'm DIE - yun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


AAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take it easy or make it easy.
Waste not your intellectual acumen to educate others.

This can be enlightening if you want it to be. I'll try to translate:

They are all saying that you don't make any sense to them.

Now, I know you may think this is a slight to your English. It is not. You don't make sense in any language. I taught English as a second language for years and your problems have little to nothing to do with your handle on English.

Let me show you:



Your problem isn't that you have a hard time expressing yourself, in English, it is that you are trying to express nonsense to begin with.

For example, you say that opposing hypocrisy is your "main English". So, we get it. You say it's your "main English" but we all get that you want to say some thing like that opposing hypocracy is your language, your "thing" if you will.

Now here's where the problem is. On every single thread you post on, you end up at some point saying several things about yourself that you repeat incessantly. You say that you admire the teachings of Ghandi and Marx, make some kind of completely meaningless comment about your pursuit, quest, crusade or perhaps more aptly your windmill (see quixotic) for basic human decency and all that is good.

That's nice. But pointless after a couple hundred tries and nothing more than a nuisance. But you don't stop there, you try to get in some kind of dig at the USA. And of course it's void of solid talking points and ends up being a poor attempt at wordplay that is subsequently poorly translated.

The translations aren't the problem. The problem is that there is no meaning in what you are trying to say.

For the record it is:

I Rama like Ghandi.
I Rama like Marx.
I Rama am on a pursuit of human dignity.
I Rama don't like the US.

Now that may have had meaning at some point and in some contexts, but after a few hundred times of popping into specific political threads and saying little more than that it becomes an exhibition of your personality with little relevant meaning to anyone else.

Think about it. Put yourself in someone else's shoes and answer your dirge above. Again:

I Rama like Ghandi.
I Rama like Marx.
I Rama am on a pursuit of human dignity.
I Rama don't like the US.

What can anyone respond to this other than "Uhhh.... ok". The only thing is to be slightly rude and say "dude, you make precious little sense".

So here it is Rama. You make no sense and spend a lot of time talking without anything of substance to say. The reasons are not due to language (I speak many languages and can understand broken English quite well due to the predictive way it translates from other languages), it is not due to politics (many people on this site are accused of being Socialist bleeding-heart pacifist America haters but you don't even make sense to them), and it's not even because people don't like you (I think you are a decent guy and have no personal problem with you) and it's simply that you are saying the same few things about yourself over and over and don't have anything else to say.

So if you want to make sense to people, talk about a subject other than yourself or if that can't be helped at least talk about other stuff about you than the parts everyone has memorized against their will (where you are from and where you now live are also off-limits after the 200th time).

Otherwise it's like talking to this guy:

"Enough about me, let's talk about you.... What do you think about... me."



And on a quick linguistic note, you always use at least one adjective too many and at best it makes the sentence sound inordinately self-important (see, I'm doing it too) and at worst is nonsensical in that it makes neither a contrast, a comparison or even a coherent contradiction. It just plain makes no sense.

But remember, this is the language, and while you have problems with it that isn't the issue. The issue is trying to say the same few things to the same few people a few hundred times. That doesn't work well in any language.

So branch out. I don't want to hear that you like Ghandi, and Marxs and don't like the US government yet again. Nor do I really want to know that you are from India and now live in Germany (not that the information isn't interesting the first time, it just loses it's illuminating quality afterwards).

So tell us something new, for example why have you never studied in school or worked as you claim?

with high regard and due repect I beg to thank you for your views about my inadeuacies..
It is too late to go deep about the logic of your observations.
I had bookmarked and respond in due course.
Thanks and Regards.
Rama

It has been by experience that many of those who enjoy screwing around on forums play at not understanding English. It seems to me that the person behind the Ramafuchs persona understands English well enough when they want to.

Understanding has different levels, Hawkeye...

if you understand
say i understand.
If you don't understand
then say i don't understand.
But if you understand
and say i don't understand
how can I understand that your understand.
Understand?

There's a difference in understanding a language and being able to communicate effectively in that same language.

I have a good understanding of Spanish, but I am not fluent enough in it to be able to speak or write in it competently.

But that's only half of Ramafuch's problem with communication on this thread. The other half of it is articulated well in Robert's post.

Learning a new language one is usually thankful for a correction and try to remember what was said.
If one would correct Rama´s English - he points out he is here to learn - you get an answer like "Throw not stones while you are inside the glass room. "
Correct would have been "People Who Live In Glass Houses Should Not Throw Stones "

Miltanion english is outmoded.
Nor Shkespears english is modern.
