Facebook in Malay

Facebook is now available in Malay (Bahasa Melayu).



This is a remarkable enhancement for users in Malaysia. As is stands, Facebook claims to have over 600,000 users in Malaysia. I wouldn't be surprised if this number triples very quickly, now that the language barrier has been removed.



Bravo, Facebook!

What's your "in addition"?

IN ADDITION.

That's my overly repetitive phrase. I tend to use it all the time. My paragraphs never seem complete without it. In addition (tadaa!), I just like how it adds that sophisticated feel to my words, without sounding bombastic (yuck!)

Mel likes to use "nevertheless". She says her colleague, Z, likes to use "considering".

It even applies to the Malay language. In school, I used to love repeating "justeru itu" (which means: "as such") in my essays. I could just feel an "A" coming my way everytime I put one down.
