Dear Tony Martin,
I seem to notice that many goans who write in to GoaNet do not seem to
realise that " loose " and " lose" are two English words that have
entirely different meanings and cannot be used interchangeably.
Hence we have statements like : " with the high rates of migrants
arriving in Goa we shall loose our identity" from correspondents who
write perfectly grammatical English otherwise.

Subject: [Goanet] In the lighter vein: Rape of Goa at Grace Church hall
Goanet is read by thousands of readers. It is very irritating to read
messages written in horrible English, particularly, by someone like Mr.
Barad who is supposed to be an author of several books and a doctor.
Check this:
--on account of which I organized Rape of Goa at Grace Church hall in Margao
through
--one of the NGO.
--On the day both were peaceful and calm and literary busy educating Goans
--Goa is getting wiped out from the Scenic beauty.
--I am more then convinced that GBA did not leave to the expectation
--instead of saving Goa, the members saved themselves!
--I had also written article in Goan local news media lauding on this issue.
--will push Goa to finish.
