NatarajanLeave a comment

The Global Language Monitor today announced that Web 2.0 has become the millionth English word or phrase to enter the language. A technical term meaning the next generation of World Wide Web products and services, Web 2.0 has crossed from technical jargon into far wider circulation.
Before the millionth word announcement was made Jeremy Paxman spoke to Professor David Crystal, a leading linguist and Paul J J Payack, President of the Global Language Monitor to debate the the validity of the claim that the millionth word was about to appear.

Nandri..

Not in a literal sense, but we dont consider saying Nandri as polite and fashionable anymore… sayingThanks is considered more fashionable. Can we all start saying Nandri to start with…of all the people i shouldnt be saying this!!!!!… but I think we should start using simple Tamil words in our day to day life

This is what i have felt we should try and do
In the malls – speak to the staff in Tamil
Speak to relatives in Tamil not in English
Say Vanakkam and Nandri where and when possible
