DISCLAIMER: I'm a Filipino so I can say it.
Sure, but the locals don't berate and treat foreigners like utter pieces of crap nearly so much as they do in Singapore.In other countries, foreigners are expected to respect locals and integrate with them.
Just to take short detour from the topic, Manglish refers to the Malaysian English. I think you are referring to Singlish here. But to be honest, both of them sound the same to my ear (although some with keen sense of accent swear that they can tell the difference).NorrinRadd wrote:*recently learned that for some this refers to Malay-English, whereas I use it to describe Singapore English as Mangled English, so not sure which is correct
The last time Singlish was brought up, some people got so riled up and fought tooth, fang and claw.NorrinRadd wrote:Well, while I do marginally recognise Singlish in its own right, what people speak here most often is pidgin English.
They are so in need for culture that they cling to it, defend it, and confuse it with Singlish.
But you're right, this digression is a common one for this forum.
