Passion not jargon

Passion not jargon

It seems Mr. Ronci (The Jakarta Post, June 18, 1996) may have
misconstrued some valuable points made in Mr. Hayton's letter
(The Jakarta Post, June 14, 1996) about Euro '96 commentary. Many
of my Indonesian friends and colleagues are similarly dismayed by
the limited enthusiasm of the RCTI commentary team.

I witness emotionally charged, informative and accurate
commentary by Indonesians week in and week out at local football
matches. Why not get these guys to join the television commentary
teams to reflect the passion that Euro 96 generates among
Indonesians -- in Bahasa Indonesia.

Wasn't this the point of Mr. Hayton's letter rather than the
jargon of "original language"?
