colourful endings


Just a conversation:

South African: The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is going to start soon, hey.
Tajik: Yes, I read about... it'll be so much fun annah
Malaysian: Lets try to get tickets lah.
Indian: Yes...but it'll be expensive, na?


We can't wish you away oh English language (you unite us, ie, the globe). But there's a way we can keep you and yet not lose our identity.

Really, don't you just love those hybridised forms of English? They're such a wonderful assertion of who you are.
