Indian English at work 

So how this gonna happen -

• Traditional English is set to fragment into a multitude of dialects as it spreads around the world, a language expert claims.

• People will effectively have to learn two varieties of the language - one spoken in their home country, and a new kind of Standard English which can be internationally understood.

• Traditional English could one day become a family of languages, just as Latin once did.

• The English spoken in countries with rapidly-booming economies, such as India and China, will increasingly influence this global standard.

• In future, users of global Standard English might replace the British English: “I think it’s going to rain”, with the Indian English: “I am thinking it’s going to rain”.

• People tend to use the present continuous where British English use the present simple. For example, where British English speaker would say: “I think, I feel, I see” a speaker of Indian English might say: “I am thinking, I am feeling, I am seeing”. This way of speaking could easily become sexy and part of global Standard English.

• This could spell the end of the dominance of American English as the prevailing language of international affairs.

• In language, numbers count. There are more people speaking English in India than in the rest of the native English-speaking world.

• Even now, if you ring a call centre, often it’s an Indian voice you hear at the end of the phone. As the Indian economy grows, so might the influence of Indian English.

1st i thought these guys will never come up with sequel coz it’s been so long and i guess 1st part wasn’t that hit. but X-Files is my all time favorite and i’m very excited about it.

July 25, 2008, Mark it on your calendar, because that’s the release date for the new X-Files movie. Apparently, at the recent WonderCon, people who sat in on a Q&A session with X-Files stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny were treated to a short teaser trailer for the movie, which ended with a release date. So of course, that trailer has now made its way onto the internet in shaky, handicam form. I have no idea what the film is about, but I already know I’ll be there on opening day. Really, I’ll take any new X-Files I can get my grubby paws on.

Links or blogroll is an effective way to stay connected with your blog friends and also some how it helps to increase traffic in a very mutual way, zillion times I visited blog of a friend  but never bother to notice unique blog links, today when he posted a comment “Take a look at this…” I found an interesting way of linking together.

What is it?

Its’ all about  LinkedList -  it’s a small JavaScript plugin for displaying a list of links to websites in the order by which they were last updated.  Typically, you would use it on your blog to provide links to other blogs/websites, your blogroll in other words.

Developed by  Prateek Rungta and Karan Misra

What’s the benefit?

Every time you don’t have to go to each and every link to check for the updates or latest posts you can find it by just having a look at you links

Well it’s true that you can do the same with Google reader still it gives a lil edge over plain links.

If you want one here you can find it - LinkedList

And if you don’t want then good luck with your RSSreaders….
