...The rule or norm I try to adhere to now is this:<br /><br />1. I like to write in both languages. (actually, I love the use of words, language is immaterial, if you get my meaning) But will try to use Sinhala as much as I can but might lapse into a combination of the two as time or subject demands.(guys, look up, my original comment IS in Sinhala :-) )<br /><br />2. Blog belongs to the blogger. If he/she is ok with English, I will use it when I find it easier or more convenient. If the blogger doesn't like it, I will either write in Sinhala or remain a silent reader if I cant write in Sinhala.<br /><br />Thisara, I'm not really carrying a chip about this. I was a bit sensitive earlier because I , myself, felt odd and a bit embarrassed using a different language. But, now that I can muddle through the converter (some letters elude me still) , I just like to prod the purists a bit (no grudge or malice, just for fun- actually the whole blog thing is just a past time to me).<br />I thank you both for taking such a lot of interest in me and my language travails.<br />God, this must be the lengthiest I've ever written in a blog. Hope you will not think of me as egoistic. I just wanted to express my appreciation of your interest by explaining exactly how it is with me. <br />Hey, maybe this post's best before date is gone and you all will not read :-)<br />Bassa, Athena is not really your mistress? U sure sound very wise though !! Thisara too! <br />Thanks to both again.Pra Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374672858448971122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486944191087548930.post-27284742486614364412014-02-05T23:55:57.534-05:002014-02-05T23:55:57.534-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Pra Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374672858448971122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486944191087548930.post-78578246726832232612014-02-04T09:54:13.929-05:002014-02-04T09:54:13.929-05:00@තිසර

You have some valid points, but there is one thing I don't agree with you.<br /><br />it doesn't seems Pra Jay has the liberty to choose the language he prefer, when it come to Sinhala blogs.In a private discussion like this, it doesn't matter. I think it is rather odd, using English where the majority use Sinhala. <br /><br />@Pra Jay<br /><br />Typing in Sinhalese is not easy, not for the rest of us who use Singlish, but we do it anyway due to two reasons:<br />1. We love our Sinhala<br />2.It is the single common factor which bind us - the Sinahala bloggers, together<br /><br />Theses are not rules, they are just social norms. You can bend them, and even break them, once in a while, But if you continue to ignore them, you will be marked as a black sheep.D.G.M බස්සාhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12180455593300502627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486944191087548930.post-78702267345902062332014-02-04T09:51:07.631-05:002014-02-04T09:51:07.631-05:00හා මචං :)හා මචං :)D.G.M බස්සාhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12180455593300502627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486944191087548930.post-1518297410730162772014-02-04T09:50:24.380-05:002014-02-04T09:50:24.380-05:00 අළුත් මීයෝ ජාතියක්වත්.???

And, perhaps follow your own opinion about the blog world. Write in English, do as you like, purists' views have to come second.<br /><br />I also expressed my view that you should try to write in Sinhalese and there is a language based recognition in any written media. My view was based on fact that you said few times that you like to write in Sinhala, but you find it hard. I don't know I am included in the purists group. But, what I am disappointed of is that you carry this thing on your shoulder everywhere you go. Yes, few people told you to write in English, some were rude in doing so. But, it's YOU who has all the rights to write whatever you like in whatever language you prefer. Others (including myself) will always have and express our opinions. The moment, you start to write in Sinhala because of those opinions, is the moment that you enter the story of father, son and donkey story.තිසරhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770690110218663215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486944191087548930.post-81798091200796943982014-02-03T14:38:00.743-05:002014-02-03T14:38:00.743-05:00මට තේරුනේ නෑ වගේනේ. එක්කෝ ඇනෝමීයන්ට විතරක් නොතේරී...මට තේරුනේ නෑ වගේනේ. එක්කෝ ඇනෝමීයන්ට විතරක් නොතේරී මම වගේ මීයන්ටත් තේරෙන්න ලියන්න ඕනේ. <br />මේක හරියන්නේ නෑ මාත් හොයාගන්න ඕනේ අළුත් මීයෝ ජාතියක්වත්.

So, I am fumbling with the converter to avoid abuse from the purists (or what/whoever) AND also because I can and like to write in Sinhala too. Yes,which language is easier to express in depends sometimes on the subject.

If you write because you truly like to write then, even a very few people appreciating your writing would be enough. Got to write what YOU enjoy writing. Since this is not a business venture the readers should come second. First you please yourself in the process you will please some like-minded readers (and you should be satisfied with that). Gosh, I sound a bit serious, don't I ? Soreeeeee!
