Hello, Basant5, and welcome to the Simple English Wikipedia! I hope you will be happy helping here. You should begin by reading these pages: Wikipedia:Useful, Help:Contents, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines, and how to write Simple English articles. If you want some ideas of which pages to work on, read Wikipedia:Requested articles or the list of wanted pages.

Even though it is a good idea to research an article (like looking at the discussion page) before making large changes, please be bold and try! Any changes you make that are not perfect can be fixed later. We are also working most on core articles and the most common topics until this Wikipedia grows.

If you want to ask a question or talk with other members, you can visit our version of the "village pump" at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Administrators on Wikipedia can also help you with more difficult problems. You can also ask me for help. The best way to do that is to leave a message on my talk page. You should always sign your messages on Talk pages by typing "~~~~" (four tildes) at the end of your words.

Also, no small accents that might get smeared or whatever.

Disadvantages of english

Disadvantages of english according to www.answers.yahoo.com {Survey result in USA } Kindly tell me what is the main disadvantage of English Language ..? 1. Synonyms 2. Homophones 3. Polysemy 4. Slangs 5. Spellings 6. all

A.

5. Spellings 7. The general ruling of the language!!!! B.

Synonyms C.Spelling, for sure. While many English words are spelled phonetically, there are so many that aren't that it makes it difficult to learn to read and write when compared to languages that are primarily phonetic. Just think of the many ways the combination "-ough" is pronounced. (tough, trough, through, thorough, bough) All other languages have synonyms, homophones, slang expressions, and polysemy problems. D. Having so many words that sound alike that mean different things {Homophones} E.

quite simply all those irregular verbs - it's like we don't have a standard verb . It's most definitely the biggest stumbling block to learning good English

F.

It's the hardest language in the world to learn, and that's a fact. All these factors contribute to this G.The main disadvantage to the English language is that every rule has an exception and pronunciation is so unclear unless you memorize the vague dictionary terms used to show how a word is said. The English languages have some weird words which are pronounced in a very different way from the way of writings. For example : the word Gene pronounced in a way in which you don't pronounce the e in the end. When you try to learn other languages like Spanish and French it is hard if you are an English speaker. H. punctuation who/ whom usage Certain tenses of words just sound wrong to me...like Octopi instead of Octoupuses.

I dislike the rule that says you're not supposed to end sentences with a preposition. I think that answers from native spakers are more valuable, but... I like to end my sentences with a preposition, so the rule that you're not supposed to do that bugs me. I also like breaking the rule of correct ellipsis usage (ellipsis is ...). I like to use them constantly in fiction writing

The word 'frankly' did in the sentence before this one; there's nothing wrong with a word modifying a sentence. Hopefully, everyone will soon accept this and stop their silly quibbling.

I. The first English grammar book had several silly rules, based on Latin; for example, since the infinitive in Latin is a single word, it's impossible to split it. No reason not to do so in English. It's often awkward to keep that rule. I like Winston Churchill's thinking on the rule about not ending a sentence with a preposition: That's the sort of mindless pedantry up with which I will not put.

Kindly tell which one of the following, is the main disadvantage of English language ..? 1. idioms. 2.Pronunciation is probably the most difficult. 3.Puns. 4. Many words for one word for example baby and infant (noun) student and pupil (noun) pretty and attractive (adjective) sick and ill (adjective) interesting and fascinating (adjective) quickly and speedily (adverb Out of the list that you offered, I would pick #1 idioms. There are a great many idioms that are regional and most people don't even know their origin. However, I think there is 1 disadvantage of the English language that is not on your list: homonyms. Having so many words that sound alike but mean different things is probably the hardest: there-their hare-hair bare-bear bread-bred barred-bard As with all languages - once you have conquered the grammer and then the pronounciation you are 99% of the way. I would say that THE SINGLE most difficult thing to cope with will be with humour. English/British humour is unlike any the world over. To self deprecate is almost obligatory - and modesty is held up as national sport almost! For me, the writing. Man, it is incredible how many letters you have to write to obtain a word that has just one syllable (though) or words that are not that difficult to pronounce are so difficult to spell ("psychology"). Spellings in english is hard...because so many words have extra letters that you don't need...like through...psycology.The fact that the spelling is far from phonetic - the same combinations of letters can stand for totally different words, like the "ough" in "tough", "though", "drought", etc. One might also say it's the complex verb system, though - it seems obvious to native speakers, of course, but for non-native speakers it takes a long time to figure out which tense to use when, and many never quite master it. Its pronunciation, and all the words that sound the same but arent, like see and sea, wander and wonder. it makes it hard to follow ppl sometimes, especially when accents are involved. In most words that end in "e", the vowel is long (says it's name) bake, take, fate, smite, home, phone. The idioms are insanely difficult for others to understand. ("Rains cats and dogs," "see the light," etc.) .The slang often creates a barrier. And here I'm talking about two different kinds: the first, I guess, would be just the idomatic expressions that are used, and of which new ones are made all the time (esp by young people). Those kinds of expressions are hard for even older native English speaking to keep up with!!

Creating non-existent user pages

Please do not create pages for non-existent users. If you want these pages to exist, put them in your own user space. Example: User:Basant5/Advantages of English Thank you -  BrownE34  talk  contribs  16:33, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Sindhish

You keep adding information about Sindhish on different pages, user talk pages, and you have created two user pages for that as well. This is not how we use Wikipedia. If you can provide information about the advantages of Sindhish, you need to provide them in the correct place (like Simple English) and by giving appropriate sources for your sentences. Yahoo! Answers is not a good source in this case.

"Kindly Tell the world that simple english has a name Sindhish sir." Why is that important? And about "What is your email address sir?" Some people may want to keep their e-mail address private, maybe for privacy reasons, or just simply the fact that they don't want to get unlimited offers for Viagra. Panda Bear 21:40, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, excuse me! I thought you asked me what my e-mail address was. Now I know you asked Browne34 what his e-mail address is. Panda Bear 00:26, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding your essay everywhere! I'm afraid I cannot see what you want us to help with or how your essay is of any relevance to Wikipedia. Please let me know on my talk page if there's anything I can help with. Thanks, Archer7 - talk 12:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

I would like to add that, sending the same content on the talk page of several users is also disruptive, so you may get blocked if you repeat this experience. - Huji ^reply 14:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
