Oh snap...I can't believe anyone actually wrote that.

.....are we elitist 'netters or what? That's sad. At least give the guy a little credit, for voicing his own opinion. Though....he could at least spell things properly....

The guy who wrote the original post is NOT ESL, He's from singapore, english is the native language, they just rarely communicate in any type of english except singlish. Which has brutalized compleatly the structure of real english.

Loke The Sleek Peruvian · February 20, 2005, 06:21:37 PM

Actually, having schooled (and by schooling there, also lived, and interacted with people from all over) in Singapore, English is NOT the "native" language, though it can be, pending on where in Singapore you were born/raised. The official languageS of Singapore are: Chinese, Malay, Tamil, AND English. From my experience, the most commonly used ones are Chinese and Malay. You're right about what singlish is though.

Also, I was an ESL student once too. You'd never think that though, would you? ^_^

I was ESL too once...nevermind.

If you're gonna live in this country you should speak the language, BACK ON THE BOAT WITH YOU ZERO!

duherman · February 20, 2005, 08:17:50 PM

Does that count for me aswell?
