Use proper English in Forum
-
I just don't understand why so many here use broken English in their posts.
Is it intentional , or is the standard of English here really that BAD ? -
I think having a typo in the topic header is bad enough. And you still have time to check. Thing is it still turns up, means no checking was done.

-

you know, I agree with you.... but it is not so bad if the topic is something trivial, a little Singlish can inject some humour into the notes. What bugs me are forum topics that are extremely serious and perhaps a little controversial, and writers for some reason feel that writing a long note with strange abbreviations, SMS-type text, poor grammar and spelling.
One must note that successful communication takes place not at the point of writing but only AFTER the intended recipient UNDERSTANDS the message. -
We have the freedom of speech, remember?
So we can anyhow use the language. -
please also understand that the profile of forumnites varies widely, and not all of us are able to communicate in perfect english. unintelligible topics are just their own pitfall. but on the other hand, we should appreciate the fact that not all these were intentionally done.Originally posted by Chin Eng: you know, I agree with you.... but it is not so bad if the topic is something trivial, a little Singlish can inject some humour into the notes.

you can always point the mistakes out to the poster - and hope that he/she learns from it. this would certainly be more productive and consensual than keeping quiet and going somewhere else to lambast the author.

foreigners aso have someting similar to our singlish called leet language...

Don't think the standard of English is that bad here, just that most feel much more comfortable switching to Singlish since everyone is here to relax.
Anyway, think of it this way:
The Americans and the British wouldn't have so much trouble communicating with each other if they speak the same language -

If recipient cannot understand posting, it not mean senders cannot send but it mean recipient cannot receive. Recipient needs change. -
