Proper English, please.

Okay, so maybe my IQ is higher than yours.

And maybe I was born intellectual unlike some others.

Also, perhaps I inherited characteristics of my parents, from their genes.

But whatever the reason,

THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULDN'T SPEAK PROPER ENGLISH!!!

Everybody speaks in a language, and the one most widely used in daily conversations and other speaking events is ENGLISH. In Malaysia, I think most citizens living in the KL metropolis would agree with me, that even Malays and Indians are using English even more compared to their mother tongue.

So mind you, YES, YOU WHO IS NOT EMPHASIZING ON SPEAKING CORRECT ENGLISH.

You don't have to speak perfectly, it is true, because no one can speak any language in a perfect manner (not even me! My Chinese is crap). Some are more able than others, but no one is perfect.

All I'm saying is, if you're going to speak English, please ensure your usage is accurate. I just hate it when some people say things like "I is Chinese mah! Why must speak ang moh language?"

I don't mind using "lah" or "mah" but would you mind not saying "I is Chinese?" The correct way of saying it is I AM CHINESE you noob

How hard is it, just to try and excerpt good English words? If you can't speak in a professional manner, then don't. Just speak basic English. As long as we can understand you, and you are using proper grammar, even if you use Manglish, I wouldn't mind.

Is it that hard? I is Chinese wtf is that

Sorry, just ranting about how deliberately pissed I am regarding the subject matter. Don't you just hate it when someone speaks to you in an SMS language manner like "wassup how r u? r u goin on9 l8er? i scared she 4get".

Well, what kind of crap is that?

So same thing here. When I come across such usage of English, I find it revolting and people should just speak basic English, even if they're not intellectual. It's not a matter of how smart you are, it's a matter of how you present yourself to others. You don't have to be a freaking genius to use proper English. Anyone can do that, excluding the Orang Asli and some other indigenious people, I presume.

So that's my rant of the day. I thought I'd update this blog as it is on the life line now. Sigh.

So I'm not the best friend anymore. Bummer.

I shall fade into oblivion now. Goodbye.

P.S. : I HAVE ATTAINED TOKIO HOTEL TICKETS!!! I shall now throw a five second dance party!

Alright, alright. Bye.
