Ok3ch, Its not about missing the point its about a level playing field, i dont think google just woke up and decided to make Kiswahili the default language, it is our second official language as mentioned in an earlier post we take certain small issues for granted that is why for a long time the people in Samburu and Isiolo areas would refer to Nairobi as Kenya,most of us are 8.4.4 alumni yet we are pretending hatujui kiswahili, its just a wrong attitude, this is why we have problems getting local content because if its not English it does not exist. To answer the question of bonokos and bundes, they are rudimentary tools introduced by Europeans that can inflict grievous harm to living beings, i cant mention the term directly lest i contravene provisions of the new constituion, Moseti is a part of the human anatomy, the term is common in matatus (ever been told kaa square), that is why we need a standardised language other than English but not sheng or slang. I apologise in advance if i broke some rules of etiquette. Verdict, i support google.co.ke On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 2:26 PM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:
Again - discussions missing the point! Its not that anyone hates Kiswahili, very nice language indeed if we could only speak it, but why make swahili the default language for .co.ke? Even before, it existed and you had to choose it if you wanted to, but what actually made them change this? Nothing, completely nothing to do with Swahili being good or bad, and certainly no one said kisitukuzwe *if there's sth like that*
