Precision in use of language

The correct use of one's mother tongue is one of the small pleasures of life. I agree in principle with the musing of Syed Badrul Ahsan (DS, Feb 6). It is like a good cup of tea, [note the rise of our Tommy Miah] prepared the way you like it.
Our political leaders are so carried away with the charisma of self-importance, that the use of proper Bangla in daily life is left orphaned (like leaving the baby in the bathroom, unattended). But I like the way one of our experts on the drafting of the Constitution speaks Bengali [I am confused about the use of 'Bangla', 'Bengali' and 'Bengalee' while writing in English], with a purity and precision not observed in daily local life. Today's Bangla [of Bangladesh] needs not only first aid but nursing under development projects, for sustainability, preservation and development.
As a reader in English, I find Johnson too leisurely in the classical age of the hackney carriages (our palki and giora garri); Oscar Wilde stimulating; and Edward Weekes [Atlantic] makes you watch the yellow light.
I am not surprised at the Obamaism peeping out in today's Presidential election campaign in the United States of Amerika (Vankeeism for short). Be resistant like a sapling!
Enough for today - let us read the views of other lovers of Bangla Bhasha.
