Another totally conflicting view point is that language is a tool of communication which deserves only the amount of respect we decide to give it.Language is not something which is decided by the intellectuals who speak them but the common people or the majority of us who speak it.If majority of the people,throughout the course of history have screwed up a word or used a wrong grammatical expression,then we must be allowed to use it by all means..
eg-
Moi-Knock! Knock!
Shakespeare- Who is it?
Moi-It is Me!!
Shakespeare-Dude..The sentence is grammatically wrong..It should be "It is I" and not "It is me"
Moi-Screw u ...I make my own rules...
If you could understand what I meant,does the rule really matter??
Just a random thought...
When you say "Moi" instead of "My", that is "o" (M+O) instead of "a" (M+A), this is precisely Bengali ...
ReplyDeleteJust recall how our names got screwed by de Bengali profs ... Mohes, Romakrissnan .. Remember ..
Infact, they call Satyajit "Ray" as Satyajit "Roy"..
