I am NOT accepting this clever apology by Daniel Fernandes, for the reason that…
one. You never talk unwell about a dead man or woman who can not defend himself.
two. You never target a loved ones who are in the dark about how they misplaced a loved a single.
three. You can not berate individuals for not creating accurate English pic.twitter.com/wC3LCocXBj
