I was reading this article on the Medium platform and it kept me smiling throughout my read.
This author calls English a Cat's Pyjama". Though his mother tongue is English.
As per his article, it is illogically ridiculous, nonsensical, confusing, etc.. He provides too many examples to support and authenticate his arguments.
He illustrates the spelling and pronunciation maladies, and the confusing meanings of words and phrases.
Here is the link to the article. Read and enjoy his perceptions.
| Readers comment on the article ''English edge: Those who speak the language fluently ‘earn 34% more than others’'' : There's no national language in India...Hindi and English are the official languages. My Reply: | |
| ''Hindi is treated as our national language as majority of people know and speak in Hindi. So, I think Hindi should also be learnt by Indians'' | |

| ''It is true that English has edge over other languages because of being the multi-national language. One should definitely learn English. But at the same time, one's own mother tongue and his own national language are also to be learnt properly. We should not leave our own culture. We must learn to respect our own heritage and language and literature.'' | |
