If you think your are right why did you not answer the specific questions I asked you ? How can I make an ass of myself, when I have blown a hole bigger than the Amazon in your argument that Konkanni medium students are jackasses (you implied) whereas English medium are not ? Now when you say, "I wish I could print "some" samples of the atrocious spellings and grammatical errors of some of the Devnagri Konkani medium students in the Board papers." First question, how do you know they are Devnagri students for sure, do the Board papers specify the medium of instruction ? Even then I will say you may be right because you said "some" and not all, but don't you think that you will find some of the English medium students doing the same ? I know for sure that some of them do, when I visit my relatives and friends of English medium students. For your information I have heard a lot of English medium students in buses and public places in Goa speak the "what man, yes man and no man" English which is sure no better than some of the Konkanni medium students. So you just cannot say that all Konkanni medium students cannot and will not survive the test of time. I have proved to you otherwise. Any student, who has the will, will survive and come up trumps, no matter what the MOI is, as for the struggling ones, they will struggle in either case unless they have help and that comes from the parents or tuitions. Now please don't tell me that none of the English medium students go for tuitions. I have absolutely no doubt that your Botany professor was a wise man indeed and is right in what he says but be assured what he said applies universally and not just to Konkanni medium students. All your arguments have been blown to shreds, ergo it is better for you to rest your argument or else you'll continue to make an ass of yourself. I have nothing further to say !
