On Suspense
A few days ago I made a post about a sales person who couldn't really pronounce "email"
Well, I was just reminded of this incident that happened at least a year ago.
I boarded the number 16 bus headed home from Plaza Sing. I sat behind this couple who had also boarded the same bus. This is the conversation that followed...
girl: "wah! just now that movie really keep me on suspending"
guy: "no, thats just bad english, your grammar is all wrong"
girl: "no meh?"
guy: "yes, you shouldnt say 'on suspending'!"
girl: *stares at guy with puzzled look*
guy: "it's not 'on suspending'... it's 'on suspense'!"
me: *stifles laughter by coughing violently*
and they say Singaporeans have a good command of the eeenglish language!
btw, long lunches rock.
