Well guys i've been an old member from the time Elakiri started but wasnt able to spend much time here cos a was with a dial up.. but now spend more time here after getting my broadband.

Anyway the point that i want to put out is that this is one hell ov a intersting place but like when it comes to our forums most of it are in SINGLISH. I know a good majority is sinhalese and may feel comfortable with it.. but why are we restricting this wonderfull community to such a small boundary..
i have alot of friends abroad to whom i recommend Elakiri for anything but the guys come here and say that they cannot understand anything..

i was just wondering if we all could take an initiative and bring out our post querries and posts in simple english... we are not doing a grammer exam here no so just in basic english would do and we could really make Elakiri popular WORLDWIDE !!! and we could have singlish also once in awhile just for the fun of it.... :D

Anyway im just a minority... i just brought this out on the inerest of Elakiri... just chip in your comments... lets see if we can bring about a change to bring the world into ELAKIRI.........

thanks for your comments...

MY GREATEST RESPECTS GOES OUT TO OUR TOP POSTERS !!!

mm..... you got a point machan. but it is not that easy . because it is a sri lankan forum and as you said most of them a comfortable with sinhala and it is easy to communicate with everyone in here.

To be honest EK is a nice forum comparing with most forums. so if we can do that it is great. but then..... hmm....

we may have a different forum area like EK PRO. only use english.

    I agree with u bro....Most of our members are Sinhalese ....
    so we tend to type in sinhala & it makes us feel Srilankan...
    But I have seen some members like kannan.green from india , he can't understand one word we say .....& that's too bad...

    But converting Elakiri to full English would be a very difficult thing to do i guess...:rolleyes:
    But it's good to try...:)

    Good topic u brought in bro....& let's see our other member comments too & decide what we can do about it..:D

    thanks for your comments guys...

    btw @jack_sparrow machan just just to talk and have some fun around we dont need kadda language no machan...

    and guys im not sayin for us to come around with a 100% change overnight but like of some of our posters who can manage take an initiative it will eventually turn around...

    anyway lets see how it goes...
