Dia orang nak gadoh, biak pi

Tak tahu lah, kerajaan masih nak buat English compulsary subject di Malaysia, ini termasuk juga ahli politik Pakatan. Kan dia orang semua kayaraya, boleh hantar anak mereka ke luar negeri.

Apa dia orang kira penduduk di kawasan pendalaman, di Sabah dan di Sarawak.



Semua peluang dia orang rampas, apa ada kat tangan orang miskin. Semua angka made up untuk orang yang tak ada kesimpulan.

Baca ini lah kalau hang punya English bagui.


But are we? I checked in with American linguist and language columnist Ben Zimmer, who explained that "the use of British English as a prestige model has come in waves over the course of American history." In the old days, though, the accent was the source or reflection of the prestige (that to some extent explains why rs were dropped in certain Boston, New York City, and Southern dialects, and also is part of why old Hollywood stars had that affected way of speaking we call the mid-Atlantic accent—oh, dahling!). But we've moved from accent to word: "The British influence that Ben Yagoda and others have been discerning lately is strictly lexical," he says. "British pronunciation rarely enters into it. These Britishisms, like the older pronunciation patterns, do serve as status markers to delineate an in-group. The nature of the prestige may have changed: it's not so much about sounding aristocratic as sounding 'smart,' perhaps."


Huh, bahasa ada class wor, jadi, kan kita nak buang kelas dan semua bersama di dunia, jadi, pi lah, hang boleh jadi mereka, takpi, hang ada class apa, gua ingat Anwar Ibrahim dan LGE pun tak semesti boleh faham semua orang Amerika atau Britain kata. Hanya nak pakat dengan mereka.
Tengok la busines bahasa Esperanto di Cina, kalau hang faham baca bahasa cina, tak tau, belajar dan guna bahasa esperanto dengan orang Cina. Orang Cina bukan nak hang belajar bahasa Cina, yang hang takut aja, mereka pun nak bahasa Esperanto

    The rise of British colloquialisms in America is nothing more than neocolonialism.
Once again, the elite in this country--descendants of an Anglican aristocracy--seek to subjugate working-class dum-dums through language. Since Anglo aristocrats can no longer differentiate themselves through education, wealth, or neighborhoods, they've resorted to using British shibboleths (i.e. if you don't know what shibboleth means, you're not one of them) to differentiate between blue-blooded Americans and the merely naturalized.
When will the British--and their progeny--cease in their desire to keep down all the non-English speaking people in the world. We've suffered enough. (And stop trying to make Piers Morgan succeed in America; he won't.)
