Why are Sinkie standard of English so atrocious?

[cooleo]

Seriously, i am no English professor but i find the English proficiency of my colleagues and subordinates atrocious!

When they submit a report, i have to edit and correct so many things - grammar, past / present tenses and vocabulary!

Example: Long is the waiting time (what the fuck?!)

The older generation Sinkees are worse! They are like semi-illiterate! :oIo:

Why do Singaporeans find it cute when Ang Mo speak bad Mandarin but find it atrocious when a Chinese/Malay/Indian speak/write bad English?

Example: Long is the waiting time (what the fuck?!)

Sounds like poetry...

Long is the waiting time
True is this heart of mine
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die

Sam must be the lucky few without having to go throw the mess.

Most of us "baby boomer" ends up with having to learn Hokkien, Teochew, Hainanese, Cantonese, Malay, Mandarin and English.

With some Tamil throw in for Effect.

Sinkie isn't even an English word and people are using a non-English word to condemn standard of English. 3 fingers at others, 1 finger at ownself.

Go and ask your primary school English teacher to check on your English first before you come around to criticise others.

Your motive is to mislead people here to believe that you're on a supervisory level, but the truth is you're not cut for it
and you're suffering from severe inferiority complex.

I suggest that you also go and consult a psychiatrist.

"Sinkie" is not a proper noun, in fact, it's not even a word.

The title should be "Why IS the Sinkie standard of English so atrocious?".

english standard of sinkies ... la! ...

The independent is a good yardstick.

You can also say "English standards ARE falling in Singapore".

"Multi-lingual" refers to the ability to speak many languages. Sinkies can't speak ANY language.
