Every language is sacred. Language is source of communication. If some people could not speak well in English, they should appreciated, and good speakers should participate to communicate with them so that they get chance to improve their English. Nothing and none is perfact. But practice makes a person perfact. Thank you.

I over heard our neighbor arguing, they are both drunk, The wife shouts; "When I go there, No more you! Where is you go?!! Later we discovered that the husband went to market to sell his merchandise. (He's a fisherman), but the husband took so long that the wife followed her husband in the market to help him, but he was gone. Someone told her that her husband had already sold all his fishes and went home early, so.. she went straight back home, the suspicious wife bought a gin and drink a whole bottle of it, later in the afternoon, the husband arrives, also drunk and a kissmark on his neck. Then the fight began. The husband replied that with "Syattap Madapakas!!" (That's how he pronounced it)then fell asleep. Of course, they were the talk of the neighborhood for a week! HEHEHE

Let me try buddy. 1. Are you asking on me? Who is asking me? 2. What thing do you have? 3. If I don't speak english, what I am speaking? 4. Take care of yourself because some people are playing around. People are busy. Just try to wait, if you can't wait, you may go ahead. 5. Be back tomorrow. I tried my best. Hope you are clarified. That is why speaking english is very important particularly in the grammar ussage.

English is really important...it is a medium of speech where we can understand other people say...Even if they speak that way we can still understand what they mean for we are trying to ask them back what they say is all about...little English help too but you need to be more specific. yes lots of funny English stuffs are everywhere...
