If you ONLY know English, and this is how you have been habituated to read English, how far would you go in your education?
This is how Cambodians read the Cambodian language. For Cambodians with means or an opportunity to rely on another language, after they're stuck with the Cambodian language (which is very early on), they rely on their 2nd language for knowledge.
But for the MAJORITY of Cambodians who do not know a 2nd language, they have to fight the printed page and mangled language (of misspelling, of "creative" texting-style punctuation, or just run-on phrases) to get even a scant piece of knowledge.
It is in English to give a non-Cambodian reader a feel for how Cambodians read Khmer (and the magnitude of the crisis.)

Dear Theary,
Please not again !!!
Time is about to run out, before we can stop Yuon.
Let's not DIVIDE Khmers on your passions of
" Khmer Language in Crisis " or
" Christianity Spread in The First Century "
Enough is enough, sweetheart !!!
Thiery,
Go learn read Khmer correctly before you apply English standard on Khmer. This is not your place to be. Don't make a fool out of yourself.
