Hey people,
Today I am writing something which is troubling me from very long time in my heart. Its my "Written English".
I am not sure how many of my friends know I suck in written English. It could be grammar, spelling mistake, sometime using wrong word... this list goes on and on....
Firstly, I started my journey of learning English in my school day (its not LKG or UKG, but its my 6th grade). I learnt alphabets and framing 3-4 letter words in 6 & 7 grade. When I moved to Hight School, it became nightmare. It was one of the tough subject I faced. Somehow I graduated from high school even without knowing much english.
Later joined college, with friends also used to speak Kannada. When my professors write something on board I remember I use to read word by word. Forgot to mention, my 11th and 12th grade were in English medium. Graduated from pre-university college and joined Engineering.
This is place which made me realize that "English" language is very important. Just an year before my graduation I started my preparation to learn everything about the language. My friends taught me grammar, tenses, when to use "is", "was" etc etc. Somehow with god grace by end of graduation I was able to speak some broken English.
When I joined Mahindra Satyam as a Software Engineer, work place taught me how to speak in English. I am sure, I am so much better in spoken english than I write it.
From past few months, I started writing blogs, essays and realized that " I am so bad at writing English". Let me put it this way - " I am not at all improved in my written English". The major reason for all this is Computers.
When ever i feel like writing something, I type it in Mircosoft Word or in some website. These application(word, browsers) are programmed to correct spellings if any. When I started my career as programmer, I used to pick spelling suggestion from the computer to correct my spelling and without my knowledge it became a habit. Now I can't write on paper or type on any computer tool which not support spell check, because which make me uncomfortable.This uncomfortable feeling is fear of mistakes, which paper can't highlight or my mind either.
Now its time to put an end to this excuse. I decided try hard to improve my written english and want to feel myself good. I seek all my friends help in achieving this.
Last by not the least, I thank all my friends who made me realize this. And special thanks to "Girl" who always correct me then and there when ever i make any mistake.
P.S: Any spelling or grammatical mistakes please ignore.
Cheers,
Vijendra
