  I would choose a pleasantly typed letter anytime. But in any instance where people can understand both languages, I would see no harm in using sub-standard English unless it's a formal occasion.

  in any case when both would suffice, i would prefer english. unless im feeling really slack or if its something whose meaning can only be conveyed in singlish. like an episode of 'zheng my car' for instance

  I doubt that's the point he's trying to bring it out. BUT I DO AGREE that his points are valid to a large extent. Why bother to care about the use of Singlish in Singapore?
  
  Ignorance is bliss. Just compromise

  If you hate singapore because you hate singlish then OUT YOU GO. Seriously I don't see any reasons WHY YOU SHOULD BE STAYING IN SINGAPORE IF YOU CANT COMPROMISE TO SUCH A CULTURE

  There's no need for compromise. Know when to use it and when not to use it so as not to irritate people and embarrass yourself.

  compromise is what one settles for when one doesn't have the guts nor drive to fight all the way for what's right

  Well, he has not made his words clear and mentioned "YOU CHEENA PEOPLE"
  
  but I do admit I am prejudiced against some china nationals who have shown their proudness in public. I have experienced before in numerous occassions.

  Well, he has made an ambiguous statment by stating "YOU CHEENA GITS". Isn't that stereotyping?

  Don't anyhow use the word "cheena". It's very insulting, even though I'm not affected by it.
  
  He's not scolding Singaporeans who speak Singlish, but is just asking us to give views. Don't be so biased, read the first post.

  You know stereotyping but why still blew your top?
  
  We know something aren't true, ignore it and it will be gone with the time. Instead, you insolently replied him and defend against his statement, either you are confessing or ill breed.
  
  China people are not wrong, all of us are human. There might be some black sheep among them that disgust you, but you sure you didn't disgust someone else before?
  
  I see no point arguing over some stupid issue over the net, if your conclusion can't change our lifes better, cease.
