If there’s one thing I hate more than mayonnaise, I think it would hafta be really bad English. I don’t mean to say that my English is top notch. But I’m not asking for bombastic English lit on restaurant menus or signs. I just want simple English. Personally for me, I can’t stand it when I’m dealing with a person with broken English, especially in the service industry like hotels or restaurants. And as much as it irks me to read signs like ‘SERVED NO PORK’ in restaurants, I still can’t help but to laugh at it. So are you telling me that you used to serve pork but not anymore? Hurmmm…

I know that to some people, English may be a hard language to master. I’m just lucky that my parents moved to the States when I was barely 4 years old and I came back to Malaysia not knowing a word of Malay. So I was just lucky. And I know how tough it can be at times. Even I tend to make mistakes too.

I think it’s especially important for people in the service industry to have good and proper English. I wouldn’t mind a few grammatical errors but if it’s to the point where miscommunication occurs, then we’ve definitely got ourselves a prob!
