in return, adding to my Russian, British, Cockney, American west,
American New York, American street and American Redneck accents as
well... getting fun... I prefer to understand bad english/good
singlish rather then cringe and turn away in disgust... it's a true
cultural experience... the westernized asian chinese meeting the
prime asian chinese... and I must say my much neglected mother
tounge has gotten a booster shot in the arm...
(No thanks to MOE, I hated chinese, but ironically through contact
with bad english, I started to explore my roots, not to mention my
english, as I started to teach them what I knew)
That's why there's such a big kick I get when I listened to the
Singlish in Shanghai Knights... hope they dun change too much in
upcoming Dawn and murder it with good english...
