We're "often mistaken, never in doubt." Time for CHANGE of mentality for more progressive, enlightened, beneficial ones.


"Often mistaken, never in doubt"
PARTICULARLY for us Cambodians.

With regards to the punctuation issue I've raising:
Donna Alvermann, a language and literacy researcher at the University of Georgia, notes that in study after study, “students ignored correct textual information when it conflicted with their previously held concepts. On measures of free recall and recognition, the students consistently let their incorrect prior knowledge override incoming correct information.”

I am glad to see the growing and more confident use of commas -- even if yet baby steps. I've been side-tracked -- e.g. the current fury of election-related issues -- that I've not been able to finish the grammar/rules of punctuation book in Khmer I've been promising. - Theary, Phnom Penh, 9 Aug. 2013

"PARTICULARLY for us Cambodians."

Theary Seng, you are not one of us. You are a foreigner who patronizes us and who claims to speak on our behalf. Please go away and leave us in peace.

ហ៊ុន សែន ញញឹម បញ្ចេញពីភាពជោគជ័យបានមកពីការបោកប្រាស់!


សូមជម្រាបថា ស្ដេច ព្រះបាទនរោត្តម សីហមុនី កំពុងតែបង្ខំឳ្យរាស្ដ្រដើរដល់ផ្លូវទាល់ច្រកហើយ!
សូមមេដឹកនាំ គណបក្សសង្គ្រោះជាតិ មេតាពិចារណា ឳ្យបានល្អិតល្អន់ឡើងវិញ! ទឹកចូលច្រមុះយើងខ្ញុំ ដល់តំណាក់កាលត្រូវ ត្រដរពេញទហ៊ឹងចុងក្រោយហើយ!
យើងយល់ថា ស្ដេចបច្ចុប្បន្ន ពុំមានព្រះតម្រិះ អំពីអនាគត រាស្ដ្រខ្មែរទេ ព្រោះទ្រង់ផ្ទាល់ពុំមានបុត្រ បន្តរស្នងរាជឡើយ!
