It's definitely used by everyone, I just hear it 10x more often in Singapore than anywhere else. Even the Indians in India I deal with don't use it, and they make written Singlish look like Shakespeare.abbym wrote:I thought irregardless was an american thing? I have american friends who use it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless - not really that conclusive, but I don't think it is singaporean

Cashpoint. My children say mummy but my eldest spells it mom because he learned it in the states. But my mil spells it that way because they do in the Black Country.abbym wrote:We just say ATM in the UK. Not sure about PIN - I think both ways are used, but yes, pin number doesn't really make sense!
Must buy. Why? Because you put a label on it?
I am a Cashpoint person as well ........ sadly I am now starting to say ATM for Cashpoint.Hannieroo wrote:Cashpoint.

yes, biscuit is english. we use crackers for dry biscuits - like jacobs crackers - that you'd have with cheese.
Something I've seen here (and still don't understand) is a 1-for-1 promotion. I'm used to 2-for-1 (where you buy two items and pay for only one), but I really can't work out what a 1-for-1 deal could possibly be. Maybe 1 item costs only $1? Can anyone explain?
