What Rafiq said was right. We need to brush up our official language - English. I do find a lot of the locals annoying when they speak english. Their accent is horrendous, grammar is atrocious, vocabulary is 'disastrous'. I met an American tutor in the lift this afternoon, and he answered to my question, "I'm from the US and I speak perfect english". So that implies, we speak really bad English.

Is it so hard to grasp a common langauge we use here for communication with different races? Tenses are easy, grammar is simple, vocabulary is optional (Though we need them in many cases). For Satan's sake, please emphasize the 'TH' when you pronounce a word - 'There are, not Dare are. Three, not tree. The, not Duh. Month, not Mun'.

Pardon me, but JC students have the most horrifying accent, and also the tendency to 'show off' their knowledge of sophisticated words in conversations. Grammars right sometimes, wrong many times. - "Oh my god! is it is it?!!! ya lor you heard of it also ar? Gosh that's what I've heard also lor! Huh you diden hear ar?! hahaha you must be oblivious to your surroundings. He was so psychedelic (the very 'in' word now, heard everywhere as though English has become a trend) lah!"

Oh and not to forget this - they converse with spasm. Well, that's what you get from JC spoilt-brats. You'll recognize them by the way they move and speak, and even dressing - mostly (not all, but mostly) dull, and nerdy. If our A-Level students speak so badly in English, how will people look at the rest (Though I've seen millions of Singaporeans who can speak better English than them)? JC students are known to be better in academics!

No more Singlish please!
