geezzz... -
language as the definition for a set of organised system for speech and communication cannot be counted. all that cannot be counted or infinite shall be treated as singular thus..."is" instead of "are".Originally posted by starblue:ps... the thread title wrong.. should be "is their english that bad."
geezzz...
we may tink majority are bad but there are also elite in their ranks who has a powerful command of the English language.
mayb we should meet more ppl?
