Oww, such a love. What would you like SL to become? An Afghanistan? A Libya? Or an Iraq?

Dreams of ordinary Srilankans will not be realized as long as this corrupt government in power. So help our nation by resorting to every method to hold an election which enables the nation to elect their leaders.

Which they teach American spellings of English? It can confuse people of a country using International English (of Britain), making children spell wrong at school etc. If you want to help language, please teach the prevalent language spellings, starting by spelling 'American Center' as American Centre'. One of my cousins was an English teacher who was provided an American Peace Corp (or similar) volunteer to help her in teaching rural children. She made sure the very dedicated helper taught 'our' spellings not his spellings.
