plan ko rin yan ehehe

Hi,

I was just looking around online nung nakita ko yung mga blog posts mo at talgang I found them very interesting… Mayroon din akong blog posts tungkol naman sa mga relationship advice at http://loveadvice.pinoystruck.com.

Anyways, gusto ko sanang malaman kung pwede akong mag post ng blogs (as a guest) para sa blog site mo? Kahit na anong topic ang gusto mong i-blog ko ay ok lang, o kung gusto mo naman pwede rin na ideas ko ang gagamitin kong topics. Ang tipo ng blogs ko ay question and answer format, pero kahit na anong format ay pwede ko ring gawin.

So, kung ok lang sa iyo na mag post ako nang blogs sa site mo, let me know na lang.

Yours truly,

Jen

ituloy mo. Maganda yan.

Ako naman, hirap ako sa English. Mas gusto ko at mas kaya ko na sa filipino magsulat.

Mas mahirap kaya English grammar kesa filipino, ‘no! Ehehehehe. Pinapahirap lang ang filipino grammar ng mga backward at istriktong lessons at style ng pagtuturo - yung tipong ‘balarila’ ang tawag sa grammar. Shocks, so lalim naman.

David Crystal would rather let English develop and evolve as it will!

July 4, 2009

Dear Fellow Communicators in English,

If renowned British linguist David Crystal had his way, he would rather banish the English grammar prescriptivists from the face of the earth and just let the English language develop and evolve as it will. This, of course, puts him in a direct collision course with Lynne Truss of Eats, Shoots & Leaves fame, who has declared that anyone putting an apostrophe in a possessive “its”—as in “it’s” in “the dog chewed it’s bone”—should be struck by lightning and chopped to bits. Who do you think has the upper hand in this clash of viewpoints about English?
