[nukkad] speaking and ... posting

A bug in the hand is better than one as yet undetected.

AMEER:

> Teacher Anna, i do not understand
'' Had it the sound  /r/ ,
we could add the phonetic aspect - the rolled /r/."

==> If the expression 'meet up with'  included the sound /r/  [slashes mark
phonetic transcription], which it does not, it would certainly be pronounced
as rolled, flapped /r/. This quality /r/ is characteristic, I think, of
Hindi and I could hear it not only in the course recordings but also on the
phone today! [oops... it should be ' yesterday ' already].  : ))

So on the phonetic level Nukkadglish is certainly more characteristic than
on any other. Though the choice and use of vocabulary also contribute to its
special flavour...  Which is delicious, by the way...  : )

SAI on Adheer's postings:

>  am one of those that was tired of the sweet as
molasses postings. I mean this was nothing more than
reading Chicken Soup for the Nukkadite - multiple
episodes per day.

==> Some were, and some were not.
For some it was, and for some it was not.
And although some Nukkadites are compulsive readers, reading each and every
mail is not compulsory [or am I wrong  : 0  ].

> I created a 'adheer' filter - and all of his messages
were sent to my Trash. Sorry.

==> This is one of the options in your mailer and it is your right to use
it. So why 'sorry' ? Nukkad is a large group of people and there certainly
are more members who have created various filters. I just wonder if it is
necessary to announce and justify each such case. In any case, you will not
know whether your decision has influenced his/her mode of posting, the
filter will not let you...     ; )
