Hmmm...

I've noticed the odd comment from a chap called 'Anatolie' turning up in places like CiF and now on this blog - odd because the spelling is so idiosyncratic it almost seems deliberate.

"I think that the brittish system of imigrasion can bee compered with the subpraime morgage scheme. Some peoples has benefitted on it for some time but in the end the countrie wil sufer when the scheme colapses wich of corse sooner or later it wil."
I don't know. He can spell 'system' and 'scheme' but not 'will'. He's the Nigel Molesworth de nos jours.

If it's deliberate it seems like a lot of hard work for not a huge result. Maybe he needs time to find his blogging voice, but as of now he's no Manolo or Stanislav.

But either way, he's taking it seriously enough to have started his own blog - the Anatolie Examiner.

Hello, my name is Anatolie. I live in Australia, where I move to about one year ago. I have desided to start this webpage to print articles from the newspaper that I think is good and i will make coments to. I will also print storys that are funny and will make people lauhgh to.


And as he links to me, the least I can do is link back.

The sentence structure and vocabulary are too good and too consistent for a recent ESL speaker, certainly one with this standard of spelling. In grammar and vocabulary it reads like good standard English with the occasional deliberate but minor error thrown in, like a non-idiomatic preposition.

Equally the spelling errors look too deliberate and too consistent: they are the deliberate mock-phonetic spellings that one might use for rhetorical effect, like "edukashun". Someone with genuinely hopelessly poor spelling (or indeed a condition like dyslexia) would be much more erratic.

I'm not convinced (and neethur is Nigil!!!).

If it's deliberate it seems like a lot of hard work for not a huge result.

Indeed, 9/10 for effort, but needs work on detail.

But good luck to you anyway, Anatolie.

Ah, a Molesworth fan! All is forgiven, Laban

Laban,
if you look up the UK in the CIA Factbook you will see that there are almost 250 thousand more boys aged between 0-15 than girls of the same age range. There is no sex breakdown but I should think that there are more Muslim/Hindu boys.
