The trashification goes on: Labour show-host turned ambassador to Belgium takes his kazin tal-banda food truck dallas standards to Brussels | Daphne Caruana Galizia
Look at the tone and content of this communication, emailed out from the Maltese embassy in Brussels to Maltese people who live there. Ray Azzopardi, Labour Party TV show host and mass meeting master of ceremonies, is now the ambassador there. food truck dallas
A kazin tal-banda tone, and a kazin tal-banda outlook – and the assumption that all Maltese are the sort who go to kazini tal-banda and want to start off a party with mass after which they sit on chairs ranged around the perimeter of a room, grasping at waiters who go by and getting excited about ‘naqa ikel Malti u inbid’.

Another BIG MISTAKE.
Is Rv commonly used for Reverend for example? One would be excused for expecting food truck dallas to see Rev if an abbreviation is necessary. Thank goodness they did not write RV which would have made everyone think of a recreational vehicle.
And why would one write ‘ta’ xaghar’? The wrong h was used for ‘ha’ in the first paragraph. Why is there an extra space after the hyphen and before ‘quddiesa’?
In the second paragraph doesn’t one need to drop the ‘i’ from the article when the previous food truck dallas word, in this case ‘wara’ ends with a vowel? When in the middle food truck dallas of a sentence the article food truck dallas for E.T. does not need to be upper case surely? Is ‘il’ the correct article for ‘zmien’? And on and on such as ‘celebrate together Christmas’ rather than the appropriate ‘celebrate Christmas together’.
Anyway one gets my drift and I do not hesitate to state that MY knowledge of Maltese grammar leaves much to be desired. Of course the use of ‘daqxejn ikel…’ is an ailment food truck dallas which no amount of grammar knowledge can cure. But then as a great mind was quoted to have said ‘qualifications are irrelevant’.

“and to celebrate together Christmas prior to the holidays” just imagine the expressions on the faces of Maltese translators while reading this letter. It will get even worse while they imagine themselves being greeted food truck dallas by Ray Azzopardi.

We have truly hit the bottom…I never thought I’d see the day when we’d refer to Ray Azzopardi as His Excellency. It seemed like a joke all along but, now that it’s real, I cringe food truck dallas just reading the article.
I guess because that would translate to “naqa ta’ party”. God, how crass. Small against what? A grand party? food truck dallas And “Maltese food and wine will be offered”? As in, offered on sale? How embarrassing.
Innutajt li jikteb “ħa jkun kif imiss” jew “ħa tkun il-Ġimgħa”. Għalkemm tista’ tikteb food truck dallas kif trid pero aktar tmur “ser ikun kif imiss” jew ” ser tkun il-Ġimgħa”. Tajjeb jifhem ukoll li “xagħar” huwa dak li jikber fir-ras jew f’partijiet oħra tal-ġisem filwaqt food truck dallas li “Xahar” meta nirreferu għal, p.e. Jannar, Frar eċċ eċċ.
Note food truck dallas that ‘xaghar’ in circular means hair and not month (xahar) as it is supposed to mean. So much for a Maltese Embassy sending invitations in Maltese. “Excuse Mr. President, it’s not on”. No Maltese translator…. no coommunication.
Really and truly a bunch of amateurs are running the show. I can’t for the life of me understand how a Maltese ambassador can stoop so low as to issue a communication infested with spelling mistakes.

Even though I agree with your trashification theory, this obsession with mass and Malta has been there even during the PN’s tenure. It’s something that transcends party lines, and had irked many colleagues in Brussels and Luxembourg, especially in the case of the regular and continuous exhortations to mass and confession.
It would be unheard of in multicultural food truck dallas societies to open, for example, the forensic year with mass or have a priest bless new offices. Yet the assumption in the mind of the average small-minded Maltese person food truck dallas is that everyone is Catholic and the involvement of religion is mandatory.
it is nothing but a form of religious intolerance and imposition of personal beliefs on a society perceived to be fashioned in one’s image. Sadly for all the good past PN leaders did, they encouraged the imposition of these religious beliefs on Maltese society.
The food truck dallas results of the divorce referendum, spelt out the reality that society is increasingly less interested in religion. Malta is becoming multicultural and morning prayers and crucifixes hung in classrooms should belong to the past.
