such irony. what was meant as a campaign to promote speaking of english to singaporeans ends up being the biggest joke of all.
there is no such thing as good or bad english.
it should be "Speak Better English" or "Speak English Well".
-
Did they come up with Speak Simple English campaign also?
I feel like asking them 'what the fark you talking about' everytime they release public statements or give speeches -

if this is what he meant, I don't agree. If there is no such thing as good or bad English, why do we learn the right usage of English in school!!! So we can go on talk like this "Your computer is new, my one is very old". So is this statement bad or good English? TS please reply.Originally posted by LinkageII:ts saying theres no such thing as 'good' english. english = no good no bad

No hard feelings.Originally posted by Gordonator:don't mean to be rude but what were your english grades? no offence. -
Sure, you are very sure you don't understand? Then I would say that you have problem understanding simple English? I believe you are just telling a lie that you don't understand. BTW, you have not answered my questions!!!Originally posted by Gordonator:i don't understand what u are talking about. -
none taken. no one is prefect.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:No hard feelings. -
wa, still continue to ignore. hey, don't make a mountain out of a molehill!Originally posted by Gordonator:none taken. no one is prefect. -
Speak Good English does not equate to using English correctly, so that's the irony.
The Speak Good English Movement is a nationwide movement to encourage Singaporeans to speak grammatically correct English that is universally understood.
One of the campaign's aim.
If you get the track of thinking, then you will understand TS. -
That is not bad or good English, but rather structurally flawed.Originally posted by rane:if this is what he meant, I don't agree.

Properly constructed, it should read: "Your computer is new while mine is old."
Edit: typo error. -
thanks for your response. But I don't think TS means what you wrote. English is a tough language but we definitely cannot do without it!!Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Speak Good English does not equate to using English correctly, so that's the irony.

That is because you are not versed in the language of the elites.Originally posted by laurence82:I feel like asking them 'what the fark you talking about' everytime they release public statements or give speeches -

The slogan is a linguistical failure.

Why don't you write a letter of feedback or email telling them that they got owned and they should improve themselves before teaching the population? =) They always get owned whenever they start these kinda things.. I still remember the Be courteous campaign.. What bs man.. You can only find those kinda campaigns in this country..
