I am trying to express in English, for that first I have to think in Hindi and then translate it in English. I practices to directly think in English and express my views, and I found Boddunan.com as a good platform to improve my English skills.

Thanks for the response. So it has basically got to do with the way the site is designed.. nothing to do with the method as such. Wouldn't it be better to make changes that allow people to write better on article writing sites likes these? I am sure many of us would love to copy paste from some word processor or the other.
You can write on MS World but before transferring your article to Boddunan do it via Notepad, that's all. Please see you leave no spaces on top or bottom of the editor while submitting.
Thanks a ton.. that makes my life easy. I cannot read the text here without straining my eyes. I got a headache yesterday trying to proof read and edit my article.

Yes, I love writing in other languages. I write best in Nagamese, a dialect spoken in Nagaland as contact language in between different tribes. The language has no script so they use Roman script for writing it.
I have never heard of Nagamese so far. Amazing that they use the Roman script. You have me wondering about the origins of the language itself. Its cool you can write in that language.

Yes I feel, I can express my views more better way in Hindi. I also understand English, by expressing in English is little bit difficult than in Hindi.

It is not only media that is responsible or the pathetic conditions of women today. This attitude towards women is there since times unknown. We have society that is an epitome of hypocrisy. On one side we depict as incarnation of Shakti and on the other side we use her an Abala, meaning, helpless and without energy.
With this attitude, it is not possible to see a change in the attitude of men in the near future.

There is a need to change the mentality of our society, and women should be treated equally as men. Women are presented as item by our media and advertising agencies. Ferfume or soaps ads show that by using these products you can attract beautiful ladies. We should change this type of mentality.
Making so many laws for women may help them to some extent, but there are more chances of misusing the laws.

The Boddunan editor is so designed that copy pasting leaves tell tale signs in form of codes so it's not allowed to copy paste from MSWord.

I feel very comfortable to write on word and past my articles here. That is how I do on all the sites I work on including mine.
Word helps us check grammar, spelling , gives us a better diction ect.
I also find the text size very small and it makes it difficult for me to proof read my work. I have some problems with reading small print.
That said, if word processors are tools to help us write better why should Boddunan stop people from using it.
I understand copy pasting stuff from the internet is not acceptable, it is plagiarism, However, but why is copy pasting your own work not acceptable? Please help me understand this.
