Just to share with you.  Ada kawan yang hantar melalui email ... memang lawak. Tapi itulah realitinya di tempat kita ..... dah diterimapakai  semua kaum.  Cuma kadang-kadang tu nampak macam kasar jer bahasanya.  Tapi kalau dua-dua pihak yang bercakap dan yang mendengar dapat terima cara percakapan macam tu .... tak ada masalah.  Teruskanlah asal bahagia.  Kalau ada yang marahpun ialah cikgu Bahasa Inggeris, penat-penat ajar serba macam grammar, yang keluarnya bahasa manglish ni!!!
