'Know Your English'

Edited Compilation of 'Know Your English' Columns from 'The Hindu'

About this Blog

Reading the weekly column, ‘Know Your English’ (“KYE”) published in The Hindu, has been my passion since I started reading The Hindu. But I couldn’t compile it so far. This blog is intended to be a personal electronic archive of KYE Series for my future reference.

But I am glad to share this electronic archive with like minded people. Each post has a link to the original post in ‘The Hindu’ also so that visitors can check the original post as appeared in the newspaper (mine is an edited version).

Finally I would like to thank The Hindu daily and Mr. Upendran for this wonderful endeavour.

Regards,  

Sunil Jose

NOTE:

I have recently received an email from Mr. Anant of The Hindu informing that they now have the entire archives of the series online. I checked….It’s in fact from 2005 only…still, it’s a great help for the ardent fans of KYE Series.

Regards,

Sunil

    Close Proximity – Reg

    Instead of using as far as, it would be better to say, so far as, and the former can be confined to denote distance.

    Dear Sunil,

    I am from Madurai presently at Dubai and extremely happy to note that you are having the collection of Know Your English. I am an ardent fan of KYE since 1984 when I was doing B.Com. Even I had cuttings of Know Your English and applied KYE when I was conversing or writing epistle. My friend even had an Album of Know your english. After some time due to the preoccupation i was not able to collect it. I am really happy that you have a collection of this series. Best wishes to you.

    Hello All,
    The first thing I read in Tuesday’s newspaper is the “Know your english” column by Upendran. I even wrote a mail to Upendran requesting for the repository of this column from the begining, no luck as yet. After reading your reviews, got to know that it is available online.

    Hi Sunil,
    I appreciate ur effort on KYE collection and for making it more accessible. I think there is a book published ‘Know your english’ by upendran. I contacted Hindu yesterday about the print. They said upendra published personally , not from hindu. Books are available in walden and odessey Book stores. If any one is in hyderabad, Walden is on Banjara Road 2. within a KM of Brand Factory.
