    You're going to hate Singlish then. Just like how I hate it, though I think I occasionally use it subconciously. Just check out the grammar section and see the examples, to realise how bad it is. Sad thing is most people here speak this way. Serious. It's even becoming a national problem.

    Why is it so damn cute when the Japanese mix in English words?


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    It's the nonsensical misuses and mangled mispronunciations, mainly.

    I really like how they take a word like "klaxon" and transform it into "ku-ra-ku-shon", or "spiral" into "su-pi-ra-lu". Ahh, those crazy Japanezees.

    I find that really cool. Though it basically looks and sounds like every other existing creole/pidgin language out there.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
