Laugh Out Loud People, Laugh Out Loud.

I received a comment for my previous post (please view). I would personally label it as ironic, sarcastic, a total disgrace to Singaporeans and truthful to say the most of it. Infuriated though I am I find it rather truthful. Instead of likening Singapore's English standard to a sour grape in a bunch of sweet grapes, it makes it sound more like one perfect bunch of grapes in a whole vineyard where other bunches are all pecked by crows.

I am guessing that the person who wrote that comment is a European, most likely British, a teacher or Professor specialising in English or languages. Either that or he's my mom's Linguistic Council phonetics teacher. (or she)

That person is really making my day pretty gloomy. I'm already gloomy because of the dismal weather. It's raining almost constantly. I won't delete that comment because I have to remind myself that there is much for us to do. One person's contribution may have as much of an effect as a drop of water into a parched river, but it can inspire others to help and soon it will become a moving trickle, then a stream, then a rushing,gushing river once more.
