LayZie G. Posted March 7, 2005 What does it matter if you are called somalis or somalians? Poohoo for y'all crybaby's, get over it. At the end of the day, in the eyes of the white man, y'all still a bunch of lousy immigrants who have no place to call home, and y'all have the nerve to question what other pple ought to be referring to y'all? Go on back home, start building the country, gain back whatever sense of decency y'all lost all those yrs ago, then debate on what other pple ought to be reffering you & those other pple, instead of just sitting and talking about it. DO something, PLEASE. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QUANTUM LEAP Posted March 7, 2005 Languages tend to play tricks on many here. The word can mean what one intends them to mean depending on what they want to portray and how they want to interpret. We are Somalis and we should be allowed to say what we think is right to signify what we think is aright term. After all everyday new words are created by human beings and it wouldnt be prudent for us to just be followers of creators. We should be allowed to coin our own words and meanings regardless of what is written in papers and dictionaries. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
