Thank you, Mr Sekretary.
(Don't you think they have missed out the part about letter "a"?)

korectin <== should be "korektion"?

Ar zes vrong to?
- oz"a??" (= other)
- riten ("v"riten = written)
- zi"z" (zi"s" = this)

ZU ZA FOZER & ZA SEKREZARY OF ERO-INGRIS

The person or group of people who ‘designed’ Euro-English has a hidden agenda! Just look at this closing passage ...

“After zis fifz year, ve vil have a reli sensibil riten styl. Zer vil be no more trubls or difikultis and evrirum vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer.”

It looks more German than any other language!

SINGLISH is different! It is an absolute transparent language. No hidden agenda! Read on to confirm my remarks.


EXCLUSIVE SINGLISH SKILL

The following passage is written with skills that are exclusively Singaporeans. Even the Brits cannot do it.

Ah Beng was asked to construct sentences using 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,and 10... Not only did he complete to 10; he did it backwards to 1! This was how it was done.

"1 day I go 2 climb up a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple see me, so I panic and 4 down. The man rush out and want to 5 with me. I run until I become 6 and throw out. So I go 7 eleven and grab some 8 to throw at him. Then I take a 9 and try to stab him. 10 God he run away!!! So I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and leave 7 eleven. Next day, I call my boss and say I 6. He say, 5, tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. He also say to me to climb a 3 and jump down. I don't understand leh ... I so nice 2 him. But I don't know what he 1."
