Questions

Do you know that the nouns peoples, fishes and foods exist?
Perhaps not, but now you do eh.
..do you not know however, that the noun childrens does not?
Children is already a plural. Plural of a plural doesn't make sense, does it?! Then how did that EDB (electronic display board) over @ MidValley's GSC get away with making such a stark mistake? And hello.. fully sold-out? Shouldn't it be either fully sold or sold-out and not the combination of the above?

Shouldn't there be a signpost for Counter 3 of the same outlet, informing patrons that it is solely for fussy, indecisive muppets (such as yours truly)?

Why do Malaysians like to overuse the words/phrases "basically", "with regards to" and "as far as bla,bla,bla is concerned"? Worse, sometimes back to back. So annoying.

Have you ever thought that your mother tongue is a tad rubbish upon being singled out off-guard? E.g.
A: Berapa round lari?
B: 3 je.
A: Takpe. Esok boleh tambah lagi.
B: Tak boleh. Kalau overwork, nanti ni (pointing to the knee) nanti rosak.

Can my knee be "rosak"? Physically - sure... but literally...?!
