General Discussion

Cholera is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, which lives and multiples (colonizes) in the small intestine but does not destroy or invade the intestinal tissue (noninvasive). The major symptom of cholera is massive watery diarrhea that occurs because of a toxin secreted by the bacteria that stimulates the cells of the small intestine to secrete fluid. There are several strains of V. cholerae and the severity of the disease is based on the particular infectious strain.

Cholera is not a difficult disease to treat and most people recover well with appropriate oral fluid replacement (hydration). However, if the disease goes untreated, it can rapidly lead to shock, as a result of fluid and electrolyte loss, and to life-threatening complications.

Hi,
My name is Majid Saeedi. I was reading one of my friend's web pages and I saw a post about you. I followed the links and I ended up to your English blog.
The fact that you are trying to become a famous journalist is good. Now your young and your activities, even with minor errors, are appreciated by public. A few years from now, once you enter to real professional media, while you’re not young anymore, you won’t be able to continue your job by error. I saw that you are trying to learn 16 active languages in UN. Fair enough. However, by the time that you haven’t learnt them completely, you’d better not write on that language. For example, in your two most recent posts in English, you’ve had the following errors or bad translation from Persian:

Throw which should be through or throughout
bourse bazaar : stock market
freelance newspapers : maybe you mean freedom of press, freelance doesn’t mean anything here
It is just 5 months of Akbar Ganji's perison : In just 5 months, Akbar Ganji will finish his conviction
perison : prison
freelance writers : maybe dissident writers
He says manything around freedom of people… : He says many things abut freedom of people…
Iranian common populity : ???!
murdors : murders

and some more mistakes. I thing these are enough to show you that you need to improve your English much more that this before writing an English blog.
