I read Seema's post and realized I could further correct it and so replied. Maybe, I should have checked for related correction in the further posts. If that's a mistake or a slip then I ask for your forgiveness.
Coming back to the topic... "evolution" in itself is a process... bhaisahab, you made it redundant by using "evolution process".
It could have been .... "evolution takes its own time..."
Good thread indeed DK.
After lots of water and banana. Can we try the translation of oud old jattu joke to english
"Lomdee ja thi khet ke dolle dolle. Mara Dalla dhen paddi"
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent..."

I am not able to make proper use of grievance and complain also transform and transmogrified. What is the exact difference. Please explain.

dear sumit... it seems tht u got offended by my correction (wch was n'vr intended to prove a point... or watever). i assume tht this forced u to put forth another point/assumption wch even u wud also tend to disagree. :p anyway, lets continue the discussion further nd i wud rqst u to take it in rt. spirit, cos it has nuthin' to prove... my stmt was corrected by seemateotia nd her by saurav nandal... nd so on... did anyone proved a point... i guess NOT. hence no question of forgivness
sum may argue tht evolution is neither a process nor a theory, instead it is a dogma... lemme explain u how...
(as i say this... pls. b apprised tht the further contents in this post r used just for the sake of argument, they may or may not reflect my opinion or belief. it may further b noted tht by giving the following assumption i'm myself contradicting the usage of word process)
... nd b4 i proceed any further, lemme explain wat is dogma : a dogma is an authoritative principle, belief, or statement of ideas or opinion, especially one considered to be absolutely true. if i'm correct, i guess yr. explanation is based on assumption tht darwin's theory of evolution was correct... having said so, u've all the reasons to beleive nd call it a process. remember tht b4 calling it a process, u've agreed to darwinian assumptions... the so called "darwin's theory of evolution".
a common misconception abt evolution is tht it is proved by all the evidence tht it explains: such as the fact tht natural selection occurs, divergence nd adaptation, nd even formation of new species. the lack of a credible viable mechanism for the production of functioning genes is a fundamental flaw in the theory of evolution. now the Q cums as to y it shud b accepted as dogma ??? (btr say... referred as dogma) the reason is tht the elegance of the darwinian paradigm is utterly mind blowing. it just makes so much sense as it explains nd makes sense of pretty much everything in biology... nd for tht matter the evidence for it is everywhere to b seen.
so, calling evolution a process can also b argued ? well the argument can go on even further, but the fact i wud like to emphasize is tht - the nuances of any language are not easily understood... as i say this nd has been aptly proven in previous posts, there can b no end to explaining these nuances nd the arguments + examinations + cross examinations will n'vr end... hope tht clarifies
further lines of argument : :D
the process of industrialization
the process of fertilization
the process of immunization
the big bang theory (current nd hot topic)...
the process of ...
the theory of...
p.s. : for sure u r not a back-bencher, as claimed by u in one of yr. previous posts :p

taking further the case of arguments nd to add a bit more... the theory of evolution qualifies as a scientific theory in much the same way as the theory of gravity does. it wud b vry much prudent if i say tht any scientific theory must remain open to scrutiny, especially in the light of new findings.
... as i say this, tell me wat d'u think we r tryin' to prove at hadron accelerator ?... correct me if i'm wrong cos I think we r just tryin' to re-examine the theory of gravity. b.cos of the acceleration of expansion of the universe (not slowing, as had been expected) nd the existence of dark matter is merely inferred to try to account for the rotation of galaxies wch would fly apart according to the current theory of gravity... havin' said so, i wud like to reiterate tht no theory can be proved b.cos it agrees with a large amount of data... instead, it can be disproved by even just a small amount of contrary evidence... call it falsification in other words... wotsay ???
p.s. : sorry for going off-topic... lets cum back to topic nd eat bananas while we evolve (darwin says tht we evolved to human beings frm monkeys). :D:p:D

o-ho....n I thought English was a funny language...
not offending any one ..lets keep this thread to English language only ..science/tech can be discussed in another thread to have the clarity, otherwise it can get confusing for people like me..:D
I wish to say something...
- Please don't use 'sms' jargon in this thread. For all we know, we might end up confusing ourselves with the spellings.
- For everyone's sake, let's not complicate this thread with unneeded arguments.
I do not wish to write any more on this thread. If someone feels that I can be of any help regarding the english language he/she can contact me anytime through Private Messages. I will be more than happy to share my knowledge. On a serious issue like this, I prefer to be straight & simple and very much hate telling stories.
Looking at it, it's one the most important threads on this website and many Jatlanders are going to be profited from it in the long run.
Thanks and Regards!!
P.S.: Please excuse me, I do not wish to fight on anything.

to understand the nuances of a particular language, u got to know the a, b, c of tht language... otherwise the act becomes like... bhains ke aage been bajana... call it funny or taking detours. if talkin' abt nuances of a particular language is off-topic then i rest my case at peace... carry on folks.
i dont wanna talk on other issues tht were specifically addressed.

Thanks DK for starting up such a nice thread.
I would like to refer one good book
"Essential English Grammar"
A self-study reference book for elementary students of English
By: Raymond Murphy, Published by Cambridge University Press
It costs only Rs. 95
And contains 113 chapters
Every single excercise builds your foundation more stronger in a very Interactive manner.
Unlike other books it emphasises more on the spoken english, where the learner himself/herself makes sentences on his own as if he's been asked to answer.
For example:
from the Do/Does chapter
Write questions with Do...? and Does...?
Q) You Live near here.And your friends?
A) Do you friends live near here.
Q) You speak English. And your brother?
A)Does your brother speak English.
...
...
Q) your sister/work/where?
Where does your sister work
....
Q How much ........ it cost to phone Canada?
A)Does
Also the learning methedology is different.
You're shown a picture of ppls doing something and you're asked to make sentences.you are asked to fill in the conversation inbetween.
Since it being an excercise book, so one can use it any free time.during travelling,lunch,before going to sleep.
It doesn't teach you rules and regulations of grammers. it gives you enough excercises to fill, so that you get used such words.
I find this book better than the popular bestseller, P C Wren & Martin

I request ppls not to dilute this thread for the sake of arguments.Since it being the most useful thread of JL after a long time..

Pls: I'll be more than happy to see the corrections in my above written post.
Pls: Accept your mistakes brave heartedly, also no body is perfect. there is always a scope of further improvement.
