Boring letters

Now even English commentaries on soccer matches disturb you, Mr. Ronci? After complaining for so long about soccer, rugby, etc., do you still need to complain? Why you don't just "read" The Jakarta Post!

People have different opinions, which you also should respect. Let me briefly give my opinion on soccer. I usually enjoy a match well played. It doesn't matter whether it is English or Italian. Maybe you were a good soccer player in your past, better than me. But yours and mine are like other people's opinions. There are different ideas about it and I respect the comments of others. But in your case, it seems that everybody should learn from you. Correct? To appear too often in "Your Letters" would make sense if your letters contained any sense.

I, like other foreigners, can learn Bahasa Indonesia watching programs shown on TV. I prefer to watch American films in English rather than translated into Italian (my mother tongue), even though sometimes I have difficulty understanding completely.

Why don't you just let the Indonesian people complain about the matter if they feel the need to?
