Ouch, must've touched a raw nerve there. I'm not new to this forum, logged on a couple of months back but thought I'd share my opinions. That's all. Thanks Da, for pointing out this could be a sensitive topic to most people.
I'm of the opinion that if you write, let it be proper. Your writing speaks for you. Think letters published in ST Forum Page, though I'm sure some of them have been edited but they are properly written and presented. Bear in mind that this Punggol Forum can be read by anyone the world over.
Perhaps I'd been too brash with my thoughts and have offended some people. Apologies........My 'insensitivity' aside, do you think it's time for us to really watch how we present ourselves, whether spoken, written or inferred?
hi genna. sure you have your own opinion but that doesnt mean its our opinion. Anyway, this is obviously not a ST Forum page and obviously people knows the difference of writing in a ST forum page and writing here. Why do we have to portray a very decent and proper presentation when we are not? (even you mention that u speak singlish sometimes) to put it in a rough manner, why be a hypocrite? Yes i agree that we need to watch how we present ourselves and everything but is there a NEED here? anyway people come here to express our opinions more; rather than showing their good command of english. if we cant get da freedom of speech we want here, ultimately who will remain writing here?
cheers.
