attended a friend's wedding not too long ago... and i must say that it's really painful to be listening to grammatically incorrect english, not to mention flat tone english.... he should have really replaced his emcee...

then my friends and i started to recall how we experienced reading or listening to people speaking really really bad english. it's so bad that we couldn't go on...

like my friend was talking abt this parent who wrote into his school to complain abt some pants issue, the parent could spell pants with like 101 permutations... like the pen, the pans... gosh...i can imagine reading such letters... i'd faint before i got past half a page.

i still remember once chatting with my friend over icq (ok, that's like dinosaur ages ago) asking if i could borrow a big plate. he said he doesn't have a big plate but a big bowel.... hmm... alright, given that e is situated right beside w on the key board, i assumed that it was a typing error. so i replied saying, no, i don't want a big bowl. i want a big plate. to which again he replied, i don't have a big plate, but i can lend you a big bowel.

sigh... sad... but such english is quite rampant in our society. like nowadays people would tell me, or write to me, it's such an exciting thing to born your own child.

right......

oh well... my english isn't all that good either... but at least i don't see myself making such mistakes.

what to do? now i can understand why bosses cannot stand emails or letters that are grammatically incorrect or those that have grave spelling errors in them.

thanks you...

i did that on purpose...
