This note is to provide positive critique on the writing style and choice of English words by Dawn's correspondents. The use of the word "DIASPORA " in my opinion carries a totally different meaning than the one intended. According to Merriam Webster dictionary : "a group of people who live outside the area in which they had lived for a long time or in which their ancestors lived".
