I cannot tolerate bad grammar. Sad to say, many netizens are guilty of that. It makes comprehension so much harder although you get the gist. Only realized that our English is actually so poor when I started researching on the GE and reading people's blog/forum posts. Here in China we're admired for having learned at least 2 languages, and being able to speak English fluently. But it's like being a jack of all trades, yet a master of none. Highly regrettable to not be able to achieve a decent mastery or international standard of either language, given that we're brought up learning both English and Chinese from young. We can't compare with PRCs when it comes to the Chinese language and we can't express ourselves as well as the Americans when it comes to the English language. It's like we're neither here nor there. Guess only Singlish makes us special. The beauty is in being able to ID a Singaporean when you hear one, regardless of where in the world you are, and being able to speak among ourselves without being understood by non-locals. I can't even say that I have perfect sentence structure and extensive vocab, but at least I try hard to be grammatically correct and cohesive, with complete sentences, proper spelling and punctuation. There's a difference between spoken and written English and we should strive to improve at least the latter since our slang is already so deeply ingrained(?) in us.
