First of all, I didn't plan to write any blog for today. But 5-10 minutes ago, while I was chatting to a particular person whom I thought was a friend of mine, I decided to have a quote for today.
The reason I chatted with this friend of mine in MSN was because he put a message as a display for his MSN ~ his message was "I am belong to here", and I thought for a while ago that this message might be written with false grammar. I thought it's supposed to be "I belong here", but who am I to judge ? I merely think that this friend of mine is like my own big-brother, that's why I messaged him in the first place, to correct the sentence. Apparently, he wasn't in front of his computer, I didn't know it was my friend's friend and that friend of his said to me :
[let's pretend that this friend of mine is called "Alex"]
Unknown Friend : I am don't alex
Prince of Meanest : ...... ?? *sigh*
I guess he meant to type "I am not Alex" and I'm so AMAZED by this person, stupidly amazed. This is 2008, I feel that most of the people who live on Earth know how to speak English properly, maybe not with the perfect grammar. I have to say that I think my grammar is still on average-level but "I am don't alex" ?? <-- It's totally wrong even for me. Sometimes, even I feel repulsed by the fact that people's grammar can be so wrong.
But I think we should give the person some credits for trying. And I'm not the one who judge people but I believe [some-] everyone in this world deserves a second chance.

UH HUH!!!
Well, I know, and here I though English have already cover the whole world, and everyone can speak English, well, sort of.
Then again I must say, it's better out there where people actually try to learn English, unlike in here of course.U.S.A. people. it would be a miracle if they can even want to learn a second language. Unlike us who's using english like our first language, well sort of right? and we can still learn a third language like chinese. They are just in their so freaking isolated own world that they didn't even consider going outside to the real world. Well, I believe the only place they know and want to go would be europe, of course another english language continent, and even if they would consider learning 2nd language it would be one of the language that exist in europe. They never thought Chinese as 2nd international language and the language that the biggest population in the world is using.
Well, it pretty obvious how I feel about it, so I'll stop here.
People might use english "wrongly" ,but at least they tried,rite?
one of my moments, Sorry if this would bother you or so, again I'm just saying, u know u don;'t have to care and can just ignore even delete this comment, I don't mind, really.
