Something to ponder upon

I get the feeling that I'm being misunderstood in here. I wasn't talking about the limited usages of "Devanagari" script as some of you have highlighted. Neither was I highlighting the grammatical correctness of the way that Nepalese write in. Rather, what I was stressing on was the feeling that grows inside me of embarrassment when I see a Nepali person "pushing" himself  hard to cough his expressions/views in "angreji".
Take a look at this comment : "rajesh jee,
many many thanks, afno desh nepal bata, dherai dherai tada rahana badhya hami jasta pardeshi haru lai yo picture le, yasto mahasush garayoki aaja pani ma mero pyaro nepal aamako nyano kakhma chhu,
feri feri pani yatinai dherai khusi dinu hunechha bhanne aasha ma chhu."

Now compare that with " thanks 4 picture i am very happy with u coz what a nice picture i can show this picture to another american guys.now i am feeling i am liveing in neapl so please catch another more picture and share with us. i am very happy because i alrady show this picture to my office staff so they wanna come to nepal and they wanna see mountains form live.
right now my tears falling down by my eyes coz i love nepal.
thanks and u have a great days"

And guest4, if you were to read my post, I wasn't highlighting some typical errors like using "then" instead of "than" like you did in your reply or using "except" for "accept". Those are the types of errors that can be corrected but surely, when you want to acknowledge someone, wouldn't you be better off trying to convey your message in a clear manner by using the correct channel of communication instead of making a complete fun of yourself by creating the confusion? Understand what I'm saying.
