A note that am back
22 September 2008
I read an article in the South Africa's Sunday Times that there are people with PhD qualifications that cannot construct a sentence in English (despite having submitted their theses in English). English is my third language, I am still perfecting it. In the process of perfection, I post my ideas and writings in my blogs for all and sundry to read, analyse and critic. Sometimes the criticism is not so friendly or helpful, but I learnt to get up, wipe away the dust and continue. Continue in the believe that its not only success that makes or proves am getting better. But its both success and failure. The sooner I recover from the failure, pick up from my shuttled dreams and take up another risk, the better for my success.

Hi James ... you mean that you expect people to do a PhD and be able to construct sentences!
And... btw ... welcome back!
Thanks Bev, I read somewhere that we do not have to apologies for not speaking (or writing) proper English (http://www.thoughtleader.co.za/ismaillagardien/2008/10/01/we-do-not-have-to-apologies-for-not-speaking-proper-english). What I meant, or what was expected from the article is, that people who claim to have done their PhDs theses in English should be able to "construct a sentence in English".
