There is this recent angry discussion on some Taiwan celebrities mocking at our English.
They were trying to imitate and add in their own 'spices' in the way we pronounce certain words at certain occasions.
Eg: "Thanks" as "dance" or "dense".
It brought about a group of Singaporeans attacking the one who started the topic.
I watched the whole episode of that particular topic and realized that the guy cannot speak English very well. In fact, he only knows a few words and cannot form a proper sentence. This guy, being the only one whose blog is more popularly known among viewers had been bombed with many harsh comments that were purposefully constructed in English to mock back at him.
I personally feel that those who commented to get back at him are just picking on someone weaker. I mean he isn't the only one who tried to imitate, there are more of those who did far worst than what he had done. So why is he the only one being attacked.
It is not that I am not proud of myself being a Singaporean but one must learn to forgive and forget. Besides, no point ruining another's new year.
Since he had already apologized on his blog, let's forget it all.
It is time for new year so let the past passes and enjoy a prosperous new year. =)
