you know, my Mrs Chandran (english teacher) once said,
be alert with english words, signs in english around you. make it a habit to correct the grammar, the spelling,
and whatnot.
but, but.
don't you think it's kinda bitchy? it's my habit now! and i think i'm a bitch! thanks, mrs chandran.
when people post their status in facebook, like.. shit when i'm searching, all of them are posting in Bahasa. nvm. let me give you some examples, ok.
example 1.
how are my love one? have he eaten yet?
correction: how IS my love? unless you are talking directly to your lover. it's like, apa tu, kata ganti nama ke-3? pfft whatever. HAS he eaten yet?
example 2.
oh disneyland is so amazing! breathe taking!
correction: BREATHTAKING. breathe is a verb. breath is a noun.
example 3.
thanks god for .. (whatever).
correction: THANK god. if you wanna say thanks, just say thanks. not thanks you. not thanks god. i thank you. thanks to you, i'm a paranoid now.
oh and banyak lagi la. anda faham tak perasaan saya yang nak je comment kat status diorang tu, betapa salahnya grammar diorang? saya tau, saya punya grammar pun kadang-kadang tak betul jugak. that's why i play it safe. i use sentences that i'm very determined that the grammar is correct. so my sentences are repeated. very the bosan you know.
so, apa perasaan anda, kalau anda dah post something kat facebook, saja-saja je, or dengan harapan yg sangat tinggi that somebody akan 'like', or dengan harapan yg sangat tinggi that somebody akan comment, and that post becomes viral, and SO MANY PEOPLE akan comment jugak, and 'like' jugak,
TAPI
anda dapat pulak orang tak guna macam saya ni, yg pergi betulkan grammar anda kat post tu.
uisy2. panas beb. pukul kang minah ni. tak gune, memalukan aku je.
kan kan?
