I guess you get a comment like that when you’re semi-comprehensible, half-literate, about to pass out, while writing your blog post ha-ha.
An opposing counsel on cross once asked (in trying to ask a witness whether she fainted), and in a loud, slow, emphatic manner, you know, the orator-kind; he bellowed: “And so…did you …pass away?”
…objection, witness has not been qualified as a zombie.
I kept quiet, i didn’t even laugh, you’d be proud of me. (eh kasi naman ano, “did you faint” na lang.)

Tee Hee!
On another small matter of the law as English Reading, Writing and Comprehension, could you say in legalese what difference is, exactly, between the use of the word “OR” versus the use of the word “AND” in a list of three or more things.
Thanks in advance, Professor!

Haha.. XD amazing self control.
Anyways, let’s move on to the media monitor.
Writing articles like last Wednesday’s ‘How Currency Hedging Works, (www.inquirer.net) is good journalism. It has been often bemoaned by professors (at least in our college) how a lot of journalists tend to be reactionary. They merely report about big events that have broken out. They’re not able to inform the people about a possible malfeasance or irregularity in the government, for instance, right before it happens.
Dr. Ravalo was proactive in not only following the Journalist’s Code of Ethics but in going one step forward to educate his readers & help them anticipate & prepare for what is likely to happen.
In his article, he tried to make sense of the recent currency appreciation and how millions of OFW’s can adjust to it. He not only stated the obvious but included illustrations for his readers to grasp his ideas. Aside from that, he not only presented some options for OFW’s, but analyzed each one.
