Use punctuation so your mind can see with 20/20 vision

This is the vision when
Cambodians currently read.


NO ONE can be made to enjoy reading if the mangled language frustrates and confuses them, giving them headaches from the burden and work of having to decipher and fight the printed page before they can get to the content.

And here, the content is another layer of morass because of the messy or incorrect translation.

And the above-mentioned barriers of reading haven't even factor in the deep trauma and social living conditions which inhibit reading...


This is the vision when Cambodians read with punctuation
 
(as a consequence, automatically allows for more word spacing)



I deeply believe EVERY CAMBODIAN can be habituated to love to read if given INTERESTING reading materials, and WHEN THE LANGUAGE is cleaned up with correct, clear translation (if translated, which currently the majority of published materials are) AND with PROPER, CONSISTENT, SUFFICIENT PUNCTUATION.

Use punctuation so your mind
can see with 20/20 vision.

YOU must not be seen nor heard on :

1. The punctuation in Khmer language, especially one month before the national election.
2. The PROSTITUTING of Christianity on KI forum

Please my dear keep your punctuation away from now....We talk later about that,please darling don't worry about what is already there in out Khmer's language,use it before we lose it.Cpp Khmers can't understand what you're talking about "Puntuations" They (Cpp) can't even speak Khmer right,did you listen to Chheang Vun lecture the Media lately about firing opposition's law makers? Well,they use 7th makara Khmer ways of talks,means,rude,jungle Ape-man's language like his boss Hun sen.

Theary,if you add Puntuations to khmer's language,the 7th makara Khmers will be crazy beyond comprehension because they don't know you will confuse them big time.So please my darling hold your Puntuations at least until an election over then we talk about that okay my dear!...Please do not confuse seven makara Khmers ( Cpp) They didn't go to school like us,they learn from jungle,don't you hear the ways they spoke on line? From PM to lawmakers they all talk alike rude,means,nonsense disrespectful worse than Ape-man talks.

Hun Sen does not know what the punctuation is. When talking his verb is without subject or his subject is without verb. All he knows is to apple polish the Vietnamese master so he can continue to stay in power. Hun Sen tried to impress by speaking English but his broken foreign language did not go anywhere. Once, Norodom Ranaridh, as he came to Stockton, Californai, quote Hun Sen as saying in Enlish .

continue from 5:36am-
Once, Norodom Ranaridh, as he came to Stockton, California, quoted Hun Sen as saying in English:
under the ground, on the sky, Tamok.
Hun Sen meant to say:
under the sky, on the ground, as long as there is Tamok, Khmer Rouge is not ended.
