TAKE OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE BACK
P R writes > To every one of my friends on FB I am totally fed up with made-up Maori language being used by every branch of the media and by our politicians.
It is time to stop the bastardisation of this countries main language - English.
I have also decided to reply to any emails I receive where this country New Zealand is referred to as Aotearoa requesting the sender to explain where on the map this mysterious place can be found as I cannot find it anywhere.
I will also request an interpretation of all Maori phrases used as I do not speak the language or want to learn it,
I was taught to speak English the worlds universal language like the majority of all New Zealanders.
The time has come to start taking our language back and to stop this made-up language creeping into our everyday lives.
If Maori want to speak their language between themselves then I have no problem with that but please do not try and force it on the rest of us who have little or no interest in it.
