Eh? Maybe you should take the peanut butter out of your ears. Seriously, your sweeping generalization is utter poppycock!ksl wrote:Singapore is more Englsih, which they speak very badly. In fact so bad, that I being from the UK cannot understand the most.

PS: It looks to me as though your English could use some serious improvement. Start with "Basics of Grammar", move on to spelling and capitalization, then perhaps something about sentence structure. And you say you're from the UK?
Well that is your opinion! and yes I will admit to some of your remarks, considering I have lived outside of UK for over 30 years, and speak 7 other languages and never profess, to be a native speaker, even though I am from the UK.
Actually I do have Singaporean relatives, and their children pronounce English very poorly.
My wife who is Taiwanese also complains, that Singaporeans have difficulty understanding her, also.
And without a doubt, the difference can be noted, that Taiwanes who receive English tuition from native English speakers, pronounce English far better than Singaporeans, and believe it or not, many Singaporeans I know agree.
That the reason is because of the teachers in Singapore not being native speakers. and to be quite honest with you, I think you are really naive, not to recognise this point, which is pretty clear cut.
Why not conduct a poll to see!
Your English does not score real high on the Understand-O-Meter, either. Perhaps an example of the pot calling the kettle black (an old English saying, by the way)?Anonymous wrote:Well that is your opinion! and yes I will admit to some of your remarks, considering I have lived outside of UK for over 30 years, and speak 7 other languages and never profess, to be a native speaker, even though I am from the UK.

Do I detect a bit of nationalistic snobbery here? You can't broadbrush Americans any more than you can broadbrush Singaporeans. Yes, I hold an American passport... and a UK passport... and a Canadian passport... so there should be plenty of material here for you to work with.Anonymous wrote:PS: Strong Eagle?

Thanks. Yes, you can hold dual citizenship if you are a US citizen. Thanks to a series of Supreme Court rulings over the years, legislation enacted by Congress that effectively extended the Supreme Court rulings, and an attitude adjustment by the State Department, obtaining a second citizenship will not result in the loss of US citizenship except in extraordinary cases.To Strong Eagle wrote:Hi Strong Eagle,
This may be a little off topic but here goes.
Have a question that you can hopefully help me answer. My son is US born and holds a US passport and Canadian PR. He's applied for Canadian Citizenship as he studies and resides there. Does the US allow 2 passports; I know Canada does. Many thanks for your help.
P.S. I saw your website and enjoyed reading it .
