For those who do not know about Thol. Thirumavalavan, here is a brief introduction.He is the leader of a party called Viduthalai Siruthaigal ( Liberation Panthers) who claims himself to fight for the freedom of Tamils from Sri Lankan military. Incidentally he has also acted as a hero in a Tamil film titled Anbu Thozhi ( Dear girlfriend). He often conducts meetings to illuminate the people about the sufferings of their brothers in Sri Lanka and to promote himself as a great devotee to the language.
I recently happened to see one of his banner on Mount Road. It was written 'Em Perumaane' in Tamil.. meaning 'My Lord'. Pathetically, there was a big spelling mistake. The 'ru' was 'vallina ru ' ( big ru as it called commonly) instead of 'idaiyina ru' (called as small ru commonly) which gives a meaning like ' My beggar'. How the hell can a political leader who wishes to advertise himself exploiting the situation in SriLanka commit such a mistake in spelling ? I don't bother if he really fights for Tamils in SriLanka but let him atleast not kill the language. Are people so careless to ignore such mistakes. It looks like Bharatiyaar's statement that ' Tamizh mella ini saagum ' - ( Tamil will slowly die) is coming true. A real bad sign.

well...yeah it can be irritating to see wrong spellings especially misguiding school goers....but I guess it doesnt really matter for adults because getting the matter is important and not the spelling..I think language is only for basically expressing yourselves..so as long as 'da oder person cn understand u itz 5n'.....:D..
:D can be really hilarious.Especially if that is right after a successful tamizh exam.
