common english error: pronunciation....

kangataz

gue agak annoyed klo ada yang ngeja kata BIRTHDAY menjadi BURST-DAY

kayaknya udah common banget ga sih disini klo pas ada yang ultah kebanyakan pada nyanyinya "HAPPY BURST-DAY TO YOU...HAPPY BURST-DAY TO YOUUU..."

mau nanya deh..ada ga si english word buat norak atau kampungan??
gw kan fudul, nanya ke temen gw yg dari oz..
dia bilang kayanya ga ada..soalnya dia ga tau..hehe

tacky (dipake di aussie seinget gue): norak yg condong ke arah aneh

cheesy: norak yg condong ke arah jayus

aduh ada satu kata lagi it's on the tip of my tounge....

gaudy nih dia: norak yg biasanya berlebihan jadi terkesan kampungan, kayanya paling cocok untuk deskripsi yg loe minta....

thx yah...kayanya yg gaudy deh..soalnya klo tacky sama cheesy gw tau..hehe
thx yah...

setiap orang kan dateng dari tempat yang beda2, pronounciation salah menurut gue biasa2 aja sih.. emang kedengerannya lucu banget (liat aja how Indians speak English, how Singaporeans speak SINGLISH or Malaysians try to speak English with combination of failed British Accent+Malay+Chinese -.-"), tapi kalo gue perhatiin, cuma orang2 Indonesia yang sewot sama pronunciation yg salah, I don't know why would this happen but most of Indonesian (that I've met) thought their English is better and judging others.

but the main point is we could understand each other, isn't it?? orang luar kalo ga paham sama Inggris yang kita ucapin nanya artinya apa tapi kalo sesama orang Indo (yang sebenernya tau) malah pura2 nanya cuma buat nyindir (-.-")

ya emang english bagus, pronounciation bener, tapi menurut gue sih you are nothing, because you judged people like you are the mr. perfect. Lagipula ini bukan sekolah kan??????? yang sampe pronounciation dinilai segala =P

tp gue ada pengalaman neh buat di share: how could KL (Kuala Lumpur) which supposed to be pronounced [Kay eL) become QL (Key eL).. itu gue sih sampe bingung tujuh keliling sama temen gue.. huahauha..

peace (^_^)v

too true (it's grammatically incorrect phrase, I know it, IDC :P)

anyway, I've been working with a lot of colleagues who are from European and Asian countries, and their English accent are so, um, well, let's say hard to understand, but no one, not even the British colleague who'd dare to say that those people have a bad pronunciation, moreover wrong.

AFAIC, the important thing is that as long as we can communicate with one another, and there's no misinterpretation or misunderstanding, then it's not a problem

That's why I wouldn't even bother correcting them, just wasting my time and energy, even though my logical sense couldn't help being annoyed by mistakes that shouldn't be done.. :roll:

I know how you feel, I used to be a grammar nazi, but I'm cured now, although maybe I have a few lapse every now and again
