  I think you are contradicting yourself, write in full words and proper sentences before you make a point if not you would be the one who gets laughed at for acting smart but write atrocious or uncomprehensible english.

  There's nothing wrong in speaking Singlish. So what if it has broken English, Malay, Chinese or even Hokkien. It's just another way humans express themselves. There are also Singaporeans who speak English just as "cool" as those Malays or Indos Sinagporeans.
  
  If you feel stress hearing Singlish why not just move out of the country?

  i do agree.... but when facing with foreigners arounds, i sometimes feel so embaressed.
  
  Imagine you tour in UK and you wanna buy something...
  
  "eh, how much ah? Can discoun or not ah? Hmm i dunno leh, plice so high.... "
  The pp therel would probably go, "WTF? "
  
  Let's just keep this unique culture of ours, within this island.

  Well, i didn't say there's anything wrong with speaking in singlish but i think it's just a lil over done don't you think ? Yes you can say that most europeans don't speak perfect english too but remember, english is our 1st language here in Singapore.
  
  Don't get me wrong, i'm not stressed mate.. And to answer your question, i am moving out in sept..

  Another SMAPPER.Doofus.
  
  Keep Singlish for our own use, and master Standard English for work and interaction too.The ability to master a language is a measure of your linguistic intelligence.So keep at it and don't regress to stupidity.

  Well, we can develope Singlish on this island, as an unique language for ourselves . .
  
  Yet, on the other hand, we should also able to speak standard and proper English as and when we need . .

  by spelling "cool" with 3 o's and phrasing "speak english" as "talk english" , your command of the english language does not seem very superior to theirs either...
