I hardly understand 'em, as they're translated directly from Malay to English. So many, it's so time-wasting to mark them with colors!

Spelling? A lot of mis spelled words..

When i first reveiced the faxed letter, i was trying really hard to figure out what was the sender trying to say.

Then I felt funny that most of the grammatical errors are caused by effect of direct translation from Bahasa Melayu to English.

Later, I felt proud, even though the sender's English was not that appropriate, the sender tried his best to reply our letter, which was initially sent in English. Even though we could simply say, if not in English, why not in Malay?

That's true, but if people wanted to try something new for themselves, why not we persuade them. I used to have BIG PROBLEM with english too.

I failed my 1119 paper....!

Aight?

I should then reply, with a letter saying thank you. That is the most appropriate thing to be done.
