[asterisk-biz] Doubts

[Mitul Limbani]

Well English is a very weired Lang for some of them learning for first  
time here in India.

For e.g.

If to = tu
Then why not go = gu (this in Hindi means shit lol)

Doubt is gemrally raised in case someone lacks knowledge on the  
subject while question is something we get grades on in exams :)

Nonetheless weird language indeed !!
