Congratulations to the President for touching upon an essential issue.
Some of the anglicisms used in contemporary Estonia are ugly and appalling (eg. šoppama) because perfectly equivalent native words already exist for them.
The quality of the Estonian found in "Eesti Elu" is generally superior to that of the "Postimees". (Estonia's, "Toronto Star": the newspaper for dunces.)
That said, it remains true that our community big-wigs could put a bit more effort into improving their Estonian. The quality of their speech is not wholly excusable.
