Dear Tony, I find that you are trying to hide behind a technicality of your own making. You are asking Freddy to show where specifically you have EXPLICITLY stated that Konkani medium students are jackasses. What Freddy had requested you is not to IMPLY this. And in your posts (as well as in Albert's) more than this was IMPLIED; this would be clear to anyone who understands simple English. All the ills of the education system are sought to be placed at the door of Konkani medium primaries. Did these ills not exist prior to Konkani being made the medium of instruction? And where has Freddy denied their existence? But he has asked you whether it is only the Konkani medium students that are the beneficiaries of the "gracing". Are you in a position to truthfully answer this question? Are the examiners / paper setters with English medium primary background always better than those who had initially studied in Konkani? Have you made a study of this? Any error in English expression is blamed on Konkani primary. You do this, for instance, in this very post with regard to Freddy's using two N's in "Konkani". Have you read any English article by Tomazinho Cardozo? He always spells the word as "Konknni". So do Fr. Pratap Naik, Jose Salvador Fernandes, Bosco de Sousa Eremita and a host of others. Did they study in Konkani primaries? How would you justify this? You have effectively put a stop to Freddy's posts by laying down a condition which just cannot be met; contrary to your contention that it can upload Devanagari, Goanet has no provision for correctly uploading even Roman script posts in Konkani; even a simple word in Konkani like "Goa" appears as: “Gõy”. I do not think you are unaware of this!

It is not Konkanni - that only happens to Konkani medium students who have no sense of spelling English) are JACKASSES? >> Earlier Freddy Agnelo Fernandes had stated : << ... I am only asking you not imply that all the Konkanni medium passed are jackasses and the English medium passed are not.>> Sebastian Borges
