at this point, i will probably seem like an intellectual snob but i really cannot stand really bad english. really bad english might not be so bad, but really bad and disgusting english is far worse. disgusting english usually involved strange words that one would never ever hear outside this island. this is not an explicit (not even implicit) criticism of singlish but a post expressing disgust at people who type something like this in their blogs:

hahax..den dey nid go sell flag 2dae..cip mahx..den i actually 1ted 2 go help dem de..but i nt so crazee..hahax..aniwaes..i dunno where dey go 2 sell..so nv go..hahax..i'll go if i noe!!

there are many many things wrong with this post. firstly what is the use of the x behind "haha"? it doesnt accentuate anything or add to the post. i accept the use of the contraction "dey" and "nid" for "they" and "need" because its only natural to want to take shortcuts so its perfectly fine. secondly, what the hell is "de"? okay maybe its like "lah", just to accentuate the point made, so i guess thats permissible as well. thirdly, what in the world is "aniwaes"? its not a contraction. its a deliberate use of irritating english. scratch that its not even bloody english.

and sTiCkY cApS are also damn bloody irritating. and just what exactly is "neber"?

this is a fucking weird country.
