@ balma

No, it is not because ‘these zaalim kee aulads can neither write proper English nor Urdu’. It is because they have now understood our psyche and know that shoving English words into Urdu lends to their message more credibility. And then shoving the English word into Urdu in English script tends to make it even more credibile. No wonder the laments of Kabir Das which started few hundred years back continue even today.

No, it is not the norm these days. At least not yet.

اردو ہے جس کا نام سبھی جانتے ہیں داغ، سارے جہاں میں دھوم ہماری زباں کی ہے۔۔یار اگر کسی نے جدت کا مظاہرہ کرتے ہوئے زرا سی انگریزی لکھ ڈالی تو اس میں کسی کا کیا جاتا ہے یار ۔۔

رہے نام اللہ کا

OK Kabirdas, you got me there!
Still, using English words in Urdu script and now even in English Script for simple desi words like mareez is amazing. These zaalim kee aulaads can neither write proper English nor Urdu.

Jamash, Balma and Asmamirza:
Quite honestly didn’t expect you three to have missed out the point highlighted in this picture.

@ All Above

All you guys seem to have missed the point which the photographer of this picture wanted to make. There is a language mistake in the first sentence. It says ‘brai’ and then later ‘kay leay’ as well. ‘Brai’ and ‘kay leay’ are synoniums. In this sentence either ‘brai’ should have been used or ‘kay leay’.
It is like saying: Lab-e-darya kay kinaray or Mahe Ramzan kay mahinay maiN
However, none of these errors beat this one which I heard someone saying:
MaiN nay oos ko yay ‘tehrir’ ‘writing’ maiN ‘likh’ kar dee.

Anyway I am surprised that all you guys missed the point and started beating about the bush.
