is english really impt in dmc?

>>>IS ENGLISH REALLY IMPT IN DMC?


today im suddenly faced with an explosive number of weird & irritating words..everywhere.


worz. stead. lolx. sianzation. keke. hehez.


my dear xin strongly recommends me the number one Blog With The Worst Content Ever. my gawd. it totally fits the title. im dead serious. as i hear the background music, scan through the blog entriES & view the pictures, i tried to keep my face clear of all evidences of disgust..but, my goosebumps betrayed me.


i checked out y**mie's blog. fortunately, the top student of my cohort isnt quite like her friend. i mean,their dressing & hair colours are bad enough, i cant imagine another point for us to roll our eyes at.
anyway im beginning to doubt their friendship; how the hell can y**mie stand that kind of english?
and i thought that hafiz's surprisely was shocking (but ok la,ill give him the benefit of doubt that it was a slip of his tongue).


i dont expect anyone from DMC to talk this way. at least not in their blog.
this is scary. naz is so freaked out that he even suggested we stop blogging; since our course mates are actually talking like this, people might just think twice about us.


i thought that this recommended blog is bad enough. i log onto msn & within minutes,im faced with all the same kind of words: hiz!
i dont know whats wrong with these people today,or is it i have been oblivious all these while? but with the i-cant-help-but-laugh-at-such-english influence from xin & naz, i doubt it.


pls do not start to think we stereotype. not quite. its simply a course hazard, i think. i mean, we wont laugh at broken english or bad spelling, but not when its done on delibrate. please.


oh,not forgetting the loudspeaker who walked behind mum & i yesterday.


a board that states the development of a particular plot: "...of 2 blocks of 5 storeys apartment blocks with provision for a swimming pool."
the guy was obviously amazed that the new condo is gonna have a provision shop & swimming pool.
mummy & i faced each other in disgust. we couldn't help but laughed. i don't know if he shd be thankful that his friend corrected him,in a volume as loud as his.


nevertheless, i totally agree with xin's closing para: "despite everything, i still am giving her the benefit of doubt and believe that she is a nice person. we should never judge anyone by their grammar and spelling. serious."


i wont deny that ive friends whose english irritate me sometimes but yet,i love them to bitssss.


since my english is of sub-standard too(but at least,i don't attempt to make it any worse), i shdnt laugh so hard at people.
