Silly Talk

by | 10 Feb 2017

When he was learning to speak instead of saying I went there my eldest son, Mahir, used to say I goed there. Inspired by his innocent mistake I created two more words tolded and sawed. For example, I tolded you to go to bed but I sawed you playing instead later. Then I saw a t-shirt that said “world’s bestest dad” and I came up with

good, gooder, goodest,
better, betterer, betterest,
best, bester, bestest,
worse, worser, worsest

Till this day, to respond to many of my questions Mahir says, “I don’t know” but he is the only one who should know about it, for example, question: why didn’t you write your journal today. Anyway, my usual response, “You know nothing about nothing, do you?”. As you can see we are enriching the English language as much as we can!

ইংরেজিতে না প্লিজ

সাধারণত বাংলাদেশের পাবলিক বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়গুলোতে বাংলায় পড়ানো হয়। সেখানে ইংলিশের চর্চা নেই বললেই চলে। কিন্তু এসব প্রতিষ্ঠান থেকে ব্যাচেলর বা মাস্টার্স ডিগ্রি নিয়েই অনেক বাংলাদেশী মনে করে তারা যেহেতু সর্বোচ্চ ডিগ্রি নিয়ে ফেলেছে এখন অবশ্যই ইংরেজিতে লেখার যোগ্যতা অর্জন করে...

Displaying Formatted Text

Dynamically displaying formatted text is a pain. A label control can’t keep the format. People suggest to use multiline texbox but that doesn’t look good in a web page for announcement. Some suggests to use RichTextBox but that requires a great deal of coding. I...

The Curious Case of Children’s Motrin Costs

I recently needed to purchase Children’s Motrin, which I had bought from Walmart a few days ago for $7.68. However, since Walmart is a bit far from my location, I decided to compare prices online at Rite Aid and CVS. To my surprise, Rite Aid listed it for $8.79, while...

ভুল

ভুল বিশ্বাসঘাতকের মুখ দেখতে কেমন হয় আমি ঠিক জানি না কিন্তু কেন যেন মনে হয় দেখতে সুন্দরই হয়। এরা মিষ্টি মিষ্টি কথা বলে আবার মাঝে মাঝে বলে "আমি মিথ্যা বলি না"। বার বছর একসঙ্গে থাকলেও এদের চেনা যায় না আমার তো মনে হয় বারশ বছরেও চেনা যাবে না যদি না এরা নিজেদের স্বরূপ...
