Encore

It has been said so many times before, and yet it needs a repeat. So let me be the one to say it... again.

India was colonised by the British. Therefore, it follows that our grasp on English would be fairly good, i.e. let go of the shock when I can string a whole sentence together without any grammatical or pronunciation errors.

And yes, it is completely possible that English is my first language. If you don't believe me, I could talk to you in Hindi, you could laugh, and then we'll settle this matter once and for all.

Agreed?
