Short on grammar
I came across this question boldly printed on a flyer recently, “Are you sort of foreign worker? “Indeed, “sort” should have been “short”.
I felt like replying that I sure ain’t no foreign worker, not even sort of, cos I am pure Malaysian. Hope the fella asking will dig me, so what’s wrong with “rojak” English?
Joking aside, I fully agree that grammar does matter always. – Mohamed Sulaiman, Johor Baru
Ed: The flyer should have read, “Are you short of foreign workers?”
