Raw innocence is the best comedy. Professional comedy is the ability to create raw innocence.
I am one of the thousands, probably hundreds of thousands, of those who read and follows Hajiagha's cartoons. Since the format change we're all following his comments too. I wish him well. I hope he doesn't get offended by this posting and just sees the good humor in it.
We've all had our moments and smiles when dealing with coworkers, friends and our own families, heck even ourselves at one point or another, stumbling on English words by either pronouncing it wrong or spelling it wrong. I guess when we hear some words we register it in our minds as similar to something else, or something that we know of. Those words often mean something else. This is not just Hajiagha, it includes Hispanics and all other nationalities that we happily live, work or go to school with. So I thought to post this blog and some of you know what I'm talking about. Please post misspellings, mispronunciations AND phrases or sentences you've heard over the years or hear every day.
We all need a special dictionary to be able to communicate with coworkers, friends and family. Webster's dictionary won't work. In honor of Hajiagha, lets call this Hajiagha's Dictionary.
Viva Hajiagha!

Haji doesn't write or speak
by Anonymous343433434 (not verified) on Tue Oct 09, 2007 05:45 PM PDTHaji doesn't write or speak as bad as he pretends. The evidence is all over. As an Iranian, he should be making the same general mistakes. For example, in spoken english many of us say gas estation, or no vay. The following from this dictionary shows that it's all fake:
if you don't liked be shot f**k off and don't looked
He makes other sentences that seem to be purposly distorted and nothing like the usual Iranian mistakes.
BUT HE RULES
Meandu is perfect?
by Sasha on Tue Oct 09, 2007 12:48 PM PDTApparently Meandu is perfect and has never made an error in his life. Perhaps he lacks compassion and understanding for the struggle of another to acquire a new language as an adult. I can assure you that trying to learn a new language as an adult is extremely challenging. As I try to improve my French and learn Farsi I know exactly how difficult and fustrating it can be.
How about the most interchanged words?
by Sasha on Tue Oct 09, 2007 12:44 PM PDTI know that I have to go back and carefully check for the following errors. When I write quickly some times I tend to use the incorrect word. I too have glitches in my English. Sadly, the spell checker on my computer will not catch this type of errors. Some of them I cannot believe I confuse. I guess something gets lost in translation when I am typing quickly and thinking in both English and Spanish. I noticed it has become a little worse as I am trying to improve my French and learn Farsi. Too many languages.:o)
write=right
dear=deer
their=there
where=were
waist=waste
know=now
