nope
I meant your nicely demonstrated misuse of "isn't it", which one hears daily here
such as in "she's such a geek, isn't it"

Did you mean: Is it amusing to listen to or not?? *getting confused*
and no, it's not even the slightest bit amusing, just causes me to think less of those who choose to speak that way

As a matter of fact, it is even far worse than "Isn't it".
All I heard was "Izzit".

As a native Manglish speaker (Malaysian pidgin english) which is very similar to Singlish, I have noticed that most foreigners have no problems understanding Singlish/Manglish after living in Singapore or Malaysia for a relatively short period of time.
