Subhash Tripathi Jan 9, 2010:
मै उपरोक्त टिप्पणियों से पूर्णतया सहमत हूँ . the word “कीचड़” is written as “कीचड” which is wrong
JMeenakshi Jan 2, 2010:
शब्द सही है लेकिन वर्तनी वास्तव में गलत है. यूनिकोड फ़ॉन्ट में भी यह सही लग सकती है, जैसा कि शशिकांत जी ने नीचे लिखा है.
Nita Shah Dec 30, 2009:
You are right, Shashi Kantji. But that was a typo, not an error - it showed up like that because of the Unicode font.
Shashi Kant Singh Dec 30, 2009:
The translation of the term “mudslinging” that is given as “कीचड उछालना” is right but I am afraid, spelling of the word “कीचड़” is written as “कीचड” which is not correct. The correct spelling is “कीचड़”.
