Gloria Khamkar, a media teacher currently in UK for training in Broadcasting, responded:
Hello sir,
Interesting project!
Just some thoughts.. I was wondering how would it be realistic to categorise a particular word as a difficult and heavy one? For example, I might find a word difficult one and another reader won't, and vice versa. Also, the Indian graduates who studied in English language as a medium of instruction would find some words easy, but the graduates who studied in the regional language medium won't. The same with the people who do a lot of reading (fiction, non-fiction), their vocabulary is stronger than the ones who do read that much.
She is right and I told her so:
You have valid points. Let us tackle them when we have enough words. i am planning to set up a blog, by this evening, where these points can be debated by the readers and journalists. the idea is that the journalists (particularly reporters) who write such words (as also difficult sentences) should pause before they use such words.
Anyway, I am glad you found the project interesting. Now, the next step is to contribute to the project.
