About កែប្រែ

I'm not a fan of transliteration, transcription, romanization, or khmerization. I prefer keeping technical terms in their orginal form or in brackets if those words are not formally adopted in the academics. Media, conventional bloggers, or tech enthousiast may be proud in converting every word into our written language, but I find this act as an anarchy by intellectuals. It may be fine in reporting news or popular trends where almost everyone is aware of those terms but in science and engineering, transcription of original terms will simply make things chaotic. And future generation will adopt them in even more blindly chaotic manners.
