This is hilarious... Commenting on one's standard of English
doesn't necessarily make me an 'ang mor wannabe'. I seriously fail
to understand how these 2 separate issues are linked into one. So
if I am currently residing in Singapore, I would be entitled to
make that comment without such lashback? No one's turning one's
back on one's own kind.
As what he said, he despises the way in which GP is graded, as
it is easy to get an A1. Well, according to your statement, that
'there are many people in Singapore who are able to speak
clear and pristine
Queen's English', then it would be reasonable to infer that
they would have a pretty strong command of the English Language;
and if that's the case, there should be a lot of people with
excellent GP grades around, am I right? But that's not the case,
isn't it?
On the other hand, if there aren't many who manage to obtain A1s in
GP, where does that lead us to? Only a handful of people with good
English? Only a few who can type/speak properly?
Of course you may argue that grades aren't exactly good indicators
of one's standard of English. Well then, if so, I rest my
case.
By the way, everyone has his/her own definition of clear and
pristine English. I suppose your definition of Queen's English
would be a mix of Singlish and Broken English? Or perhaps less
broken English? Tsk, I doubt you even know what you're talking
about dude.
