" Yesterday, I saw thee and thy friend on the street. Wast thou going somewhere with him? I saw thee sitting behind the wheel, so I thought thou wert (or thou wast) the driver. Was the car his or thine? I didn’t know thou hadst thy license."
I'm so into English literature recently. actually it was way back into my secondary yrs that i have the passion for English literature in fact, it was one of the subject i considered taking up too. but i left it behind my mind after deciding to settle down to IAD.
recently, b'coz I'm so free, i decide to dig it out of my mind , do some research and some self -teaching study =) I'm that diligent, keke..... and i still find it amusing =) its a pleasure and interesting experience u know to research way back into the beautiful language people back then speak of. i find it amusing that the language our society now speak of can have such big differences from the period back then. usually, people improve rite ? from period to period the societies are improving, life style are changing turning into a luxury period where people are willing to spend everything to IMPROVE in any and every aspect.
but, sadly no one seems to care much about the etiquette of speaking languages.as a matter of fact, it gets worse. people seems to mangle the grammar badly enough to send knowledgeable people into hysterics. we can so often hear self- created vocab and suprisingly, people do remember those words rather than the standard english vocab, and spread it like a contagious virus. weird rite ? to me its just the matter of wether are u willing to learn or not. if u can adapt to such vocab and influence your peeps too, why cant you learn the proper way of speaking the language?
hmm, remember those beauty pageant shows where contestant were always ask of their dreams ? u can just turn off the tv knowing that they will surely give the universal answer which is world peace lar...no war lar....save the animals lar....donate for the orphans lar....ALL CRAPS !
we all know its all bullshit. well, hehe if i were to answer it , i will surely say : i want the world ( at least my country malaysia)to speak proper decent language so that no other country will look down on us and may be our country will be famous ..u knw , for being the most proper brought-up country ...hahahahaaaa.
p/s: imagine the whole country speaking thee and thou ..hahaaa. funny =)
