Is India's future in rite / wright / right / write / ryte direction!!!?

rite / wright / right / write / ryte... So much of similar rhyming words?


Yes, all these words were collated from responses to a questionnaire presented to women students of PSG College of Arts and Science in Coimbatore. The questionnaire was a part of the one-to-one initiative from Vasantha Memorial Trust for spreading the awareness on breast-self-examination among women. Around 900 girls were given the awareness talk.

My mother who was a part of the initiative was amused by the answer to a particular question (Answer: Right) Some of the answers were rite (the mobile SMS effect perhaps), wright(Where did wright brothers come into picture?), right, ryte(Again SMS effect), write(What to write?) and many more similar sounding compounds. Many did not choose to right the write answer...sorry, write the right answer!

This left me wondering whether we are marching into future in the right direction??
