Dear Selma
Re: Global Goan Convention, London – “Congrats to Goans in London) Response to message 9, volume 6, issue 704 I spend a lot of time reading your articles as they provide me with such amusement that I haven’t got round to reading your book yet! In your response to Armstrong re “Congrats to Goans in London”, in your 3rd paragraph you say “They talk a lot from the outside” and in your 4th paragraph you say “the purpose of the Global Goans Convention; the purpose is dialogue”. At this point, I rushed to look at my Thesaurus for the word “dialogue”, of course I know what “talk” is as I engage in it most of the time. Well, surprise, surprise, the Thesaurus states alternatives to “dialogue” are: Talk Chat Conversation Discussion Exchange of ideas Information flow Is there anyone out there who can recommend to me an Institution offering a Crap-ology Degree? I can then move up the social ladder from the “outside” to the “inside”. Rose Fernandes Surrey, United Kingdom 26 July 2011
