  -> You are right. But if all people say something due to ignorance it doesn't mean there is no proper word in Urdu. Unfortunately, we are adopting foreign words in our language day by day and I am afraid one day we will have only a handful of our own words.

agree  Asghar Bhatti: yes. Miqyas-ul-Hararat...see Feroze-ul-lughat jamia
