Grammar Suicide # 12

On March 7, 2009 · 9 Comments · In Grammar Suicide

Grammar suicide chronicles my daily encounters with everything grammatically suicidal. This is not meant to laugh at Filipinos’ ingenuous English grammar usage but is rather meant to induce awareness about the common Pinoy-style deviations from the proper usage of the language. (Charing!)

    lolz! now, that’s a clear case of filipinoism. “no loitering” would have been correct. i think “istambay” is the english equivalent of “on-looker.”
