[Reader-list] ARUNDHATI - PUBLICITY HUNGER

he certainly meant "cheap publicity" and it is surprising that you need that clarified
 
maybe you are not aware that there are many many millions from india who are not proficient in english grammar and spellings ...... quite often they are likely to use the phonetics of the alphabet when they write in english ...... spellings might go awry but they manage to express themselves
 
there is an unfortunate tendency in some to criticise or blatantly make fun of or subtly poke fun at those people who's accent, annunciation or spellings in the english language do not meet their standards

Dear Trivediji,

"she is just after negative and chip publicity"

I wish to strongly contradict this view of yours. But before I do that
can you explain what do you mean by 'chip; here?
