Strange, I'd say the exact opposite. Local English tends to dumb things down! Maybe they use more difficult words than they need to sometimes, but usually the grammatical context is so primitive that I lose sight of that and can't get over the 'ooga booga' caveman english.Wd40 wrote: But I just feel where you could do with simple words, they seem to use more difficult words.
This one is also stupid and makes me crazy. I've seen it in Hong Kong too, on the same 'Waste cum Recyclables' bins. In the US I believe that would be where a sperm donor goes?PNGMK wrote:+1 - it's just a stupid use of a long deprecated latin phrase.sundaymorningstaple wrote:Or the one everybody thinks of but always skirts around, when describing a double duty appliance or person.
