I feel scared for him. He has been constantly exposing more of this shitty company on reddit (r/india) WhiteHatJr's ads are complete BS. They advertise that a 9 year old kid (wolf gupta, yes that is apparently his real name) got a job at Google

It's gonna get worse. Criminal Defamation laws in India put the onus on the defendant (Poonia, dont know legal terms) to show that he did not defame the company, or to show that he did it in interest of public good. They are skewed towards the company or the person alleging defamation. In other countries its the person alleging that needs to prove that he was defamed unfairly.

"Europe didn’t get to be Europe by doing that..." No, because all the troublemakers left to the US! I kid. I kid .

England got rid of all sorts of troublemakers by sending then down to Australia for a long time :D Somehow, it actually turned out great for both.

For those not in the UK, the pearl-clutching here is about an incident where a bunch of teens had a fight in the 13th largest city in the country and four ended up stabbed. None dead (at the moment) and it is headline news here. I would invite the Americans in the audience to imagine a world where a gang fight that left four kids stabbed in Fort Worth, Tx was national news. Yeah, let me tell you about what a dangerou…

National, no. But four teens getting stabbed in a single incident might very well be news in most of Texas, which is only about half the population of the entire UK, and well over half the population of England proper. America's a big place.

There are well designed, carefully planned and high quality textbooks by NCERT, which is part of the school board. But many students and parents don't prefer them. There is a proliferation of 'cut-to-the-chase' guidebooks (similar to Cliffnotes but much much worse) that they use to cram before the exam. What you describe is very likely one of these.

Why would they include content that is so obviously false in a guidebook? Certainly the book's author didn't believe it to be the case.

You're missing the forest for the trees. Like I said, it's not about the phrases themselves; then again, perhaps we are talking past each other. I'll just say that your notion of what is worth getting upset about (or not) _might not_ apply to everybody else, and leave it at that :)

I don’t think I’m missing the point, which is those phrases are used widely enough that they don’t signify babudom. It’s common workplace English and has no wider context than “it’s just Indian English”, not in this day at least. Fair enough that what is worth getting upset about for me doesn’t apply to others.
