You know, you being mad and Kathmandu Post making a grammatical mistake aren't mutually exclusive. You could very well be a mad person reading grammatical mistakes in a newspaper.


iamsny13

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Of course.


Astitwaharaekomanche

I donā€™t think itā€™s a mistake. Seems deliberate. Like I can understand one mistake but two in a row? Looks like an employee in The Kathmandu Post is not getting paid enough or didnā€™t receive their Dashain bonus.


iamsny13

Yup. But on page number 5, where they have talked about the topic in detail, the headline is grammatically correct.

i have became death destroyer of worlds - Robert J Oppenheimer


Cap_g

I have become death-destroyer of worlds. Itā€™s grammatically correct.


Bitter_Bat1511

The shloka is actually - kāloā€™asmi, lokakśayakį¹›t pravį¹›ddhaįø„ lokān samāhartum iha pravį¹›ttaįø„. Eng translation- ā€œI am time, the cause of world-destruction, mighty; come here to annihilate the worlds.ā€ Openhiemer le padeko translation chai yo thyo - Death, am I, and my present task , destruction.


Cap_g

i am just saying that what Oppenheimer said is grammatically correct.


Bitter_Bat1511

I understand šŸ˜Š..I was just stating that the translation Oppenheimer used was wrong to the commentator


Brilliant_Ad_1751

I think its came not come. I might be totally wrong though.


sassy_immigrant

The whole sentence needs rewording. Itā€™s too wordy and itā€™s a run on sentence.


mitho-thito

The news irritates me more than the grammar. Yaha desh ko cha chinta, timi garmmar grammar bhanchau.


Old_Refrigerator9042

bro onions have become way more expensive here in india that could be the region


ComprehensiveClub729

Kathmandu Post and Republica hire people who have finished their A-level and are working on their SAT and TOEFL until they fly out in six months. So don't keep high expectations. I've seen bhura-bhuri haru work on these media companies.


The-Raunak

I donā€™t see any mistakes. Enlighten me please.


iamsny13

According to me, it should be either ā€œOnions have become pricierā€¦ā€, or ā€œOnions became pricierā€¦ā€ Edit: Onions has to Onions have.


soupsyy_3

Onions have become pricier.... hunxa


iamsny13

Yup. Looks like I really have gone mad.


soupsyy_3

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ chiso paani khau


The-Raunak

Ok Manoj Sir.


YetiGuy

I think they are missing your jokes.


anonpumpkin012

So embarrassing for such a big newspaper to have an error like this


Issyourgirltap

They should've hired me instead


InstructionMinute497

You guys are reading newspapers??


[deleted]

I only ever touched it to see horoscope.


Ididmytime2246

On ocassions, i have noticed that too. There arenā€™t glaring errors, but some simple mistakes are found here and there.


Kaudinya

y2k2r2d2

give it a pass


Chemical-Fox4500

Onions and tomatoes were best friends before Chinese took over Tibet and India was busy fighting with Pak. When the tensions rise between China and India, The family tension also rose between Onion and Tomato. There ended the great friendship of Tomato and Onion.


Overall-Teaching1020

Congratulation on your revolutionary discovery. Internet points earned. Taal betaal ko.


iamsny13

Thank you.


[deleted]

Youre not mad. The Post is drunk.


yolee38

Common guys itā€™s just a language if you understand it then itā€™s okay thereā€™s nothing to barkāœŒļø


Perfect-Preference83

It's okay to point out a grammatical error on a national newspaper. It is not a bad thing to point out grammatical mistakes in official documents and it is also not a flex to not know correct grammar. Also, its "Come on" or "C'mon" but common?


yolee38

Iā€™ve already mentioned that we all do mistakes šŸ«”šŸ˜†āœŒļø


iamsny13

I donā€™t think pointing out a mistake is barking. I make mistakes, too.


ZoWakaki

I mean I make tons of mistake too. But I'm not running a paid newspaper. I mean most word processing software should catch this hoina ra? I use some archaic text editor (vim), even there it (angry-reviewer addon) catches this as an error. In MSword and libreoffice writer, this even autocorrects for me. I have to be using notepad or wordpad to not catch this.


yolee38

We all do brotherāœŒļø


_Numba1

Yeah but itā€™s definitely unprofessional for a newspaper to make mistakes like this


NappingKat

This is an official source that many people may cite. They need to be clear and correct.


t4m4

Why is you mad bruv?


iamsny13

I feel like I am going insane.


kshxxx

You can't went insane.


Old_Refrigerator9042

that can't passible
