It's still important that we're understood by others and not everyone gets how expressive Singlish is even if it's so succinct! All boils down to ability to codeswitch instead of attempts to stamp out Singlish. .-= ssumin´s last blog ..<a href="http://twitter.com/ssumin/statuses/3143770768" rel="nofollow">ssumin: RT @sgbrands: Learn the #Singapore based hashtags to make the best of your tweeting adventure! ~ http://bit.ly/3lnoTN (For you & ur biz)</a> =-.

Mostly in asian. I live in Germany and learnd english, a little bit france, japanese and of cause german. In a few countries english become so funny twisted accents, that other people from other countries dont get the meaning of the sentence. Japanese people love short forms. So become Brad Pitt 'BURAPI'. Every japanese will understand that is the short form for 'BURADO PITO' the japanese way of saying Brad Pitt. In germany the mobile or cellphone become 'Handy' a lovely, sweet form for a small thing that you use with your hand, a Denglish word. But nothing compares to Singlish, that, as you sad, is more complex, because of a fusion of so many languages. Thats impressiv and unique, i think. What about an online-petition?
