Something to ponder upon

Since you started with "something to ponder upon".......well, let’s do it. It’s true that one's comment loses its aesthetic appeal and clarity if it is chocked with common grammatical mistakes no matter how legitimate and plausible his/her comment is. In some cases it may ends up disseminating off-the-wall messages that the author in no way intended to do. And, there IS NOT any rule of thumb indicating one should express oneself in language one has command over or IS there any? As someone mentioned earlier that its a blog/ forum that is by and large meant to swap ideas and express oneself. To add to that, I would like to ask "Can’t we be little lenient in blog/forum and condone petty mistakes related to grammar?" Lets try to capture the essence and crux the author attempts to propagate from his piece. Having said all these......I myself hate to see reckless writing (be it in English or Nepali) and don't mean to promote the use of run-of-the-mill writing skill. But I do definitely believe that we learn from our mistakes and there is nothing wrong with making mistakes but making it repeatedly is not acceptable.

Hey Balbhadra, what would be your take on this when I express myself as-

Mero Angreji ma lekhne seep patakai chaina, kehi sahayog garnu paryo sathi harule malai.
