Language Struggle

Language Struggle

1. Let me dish out Linux.

Linux is a computer Coding Languages and it has 15 major subdivisions, some of which are platform independent. I rarely visit the terminal or coding, since I consider it as a daemaon exercise in which once configured (Manjaro uses integrated) there are no conflicts.

Mind you Linux has no racial bias and it is global which U.N.O should learn to use instead or other racial languages since Linux uses the same keyboard characters and many more scientific character which scientists depends on. 

NASA also use Linux.

I do not think my time U.N.O would transform, It is a what elephant to begin with.

One get on with his or her tasks at hand once configured or integrated with the application Linux run.

Linus has over 60,000 packages and I use only about 25.

 2. I use English as my communication language, English English as my spoken language and American English in writing and Linux desktop. English has many varities and and I hate Indian and New Zealand English.

There are African English, too.

Australian

British

American

South African

New Zealand 

Irish English.

English by far is not homogeneous and British are made of Scottish and Welsh and part Northern Ireland (acquired by brute force).

Irish have their own Gaelic languages but use English for intentional dealings.  

4. I use Sinhala at home but when I travel in a bus pretend not to know Sinhala (driver and the conductor knows I can speak Rude Sinhala if requires, say a drunkard misbehaves while using public transport).

I sit in the middle of the bus but I have helped the conductor to throw a drunkard by force.

5. I use use Tamil to get the cardinal symptom of a sick patient but my Tamil is colloquial and nowhere near Jaffna Tamil. The Tamil I learned from Indian State workers .

I failed the Tamil Official Examination three times which was necessary for confirmation in Government service.

Moment, I finished the compulsory service plus one year (my father's advice), I left Ceylon.

I am entitled for a W.O.A.P (I have the Registration Number) but declined to apply for it on the advice of one of my old time classmates who accompanied me to the airport on my way to Australia.

I have worked in Britain (nearly 10 years) and New Zealand (two years exactly) but could not get  job in Australia when I wanted. 

If I stayed in New Zealand for three years, I could have got Australian VISA.

I wanted to work in Northern Territories but if my memory is right I did not have enough pounds for the full VISA application.

I still have the New Zealand cheque I wrote (may be over NZ-605 ), tagged to the VISA application which I did not submit, in my attic for my children to see.
