I would like to know what the grammatical structures of Singaporean English is, just so I can convince myself that I'm not a total imbecile.

How to speak Singlish


Good grief!!!!!! I don't speak like that!!  WTH?!

Is it possible, that my grammar was just so damn perfect that it broke the quiz????  And those guys at MIT thought I had to be some rich Singaporean kid who studies at Cambridge???

Don't worry, Meroe. It seems like the best around here have Singaporean dialect.
Edit: btw, it even says when you push the ?: "Singaporean is very similar to Standard American English and the two can be hard to distinguish."

1. Singaporean
2. South African
3. Welsh (UK)

1. German
2. Swedish
3. English

More German than Swedish huh? Well I don't mind that, of course this isn't about accent, but if it was I'd be happy since German accent has charm whereas Swedish accent is abysmal.

What is interesting is that I apparently don't have a good enough English to be paired with what they call standard English dialects (American, Canadian, etc.). Makes me sad, I thought I was pretty good at this language.

Can someone tell me, "Sally swam two miles. Wore a pair of $100 goggles." and "John went to the store. Bought ice cream." are grammatical?

Cuz I found some really crazy stuff about sentences being grammatical. Link
