Hay nako, mga peeps. Maraming ganitong kabataan today. Bato bato sa langit, tamaan hwag magalit pero karamihan ng kabataan na ganit come from high-profile schools or from a Pinoy household where the parents talk to each other in Tagalog, but speak to their children in English. I have quite a few friends and aquaintances na yung mga anak nila eh baluktot mag-Tagalog. Yung isang anak ng friend ko told me this once "Tagalog is so colloquial, so everyday." May relative si misis sa Cebu na yung mga anak, marunong ngag mag-Cebuano, eh may U.S. twang naman kung mag-salita. Parang trying-hard tuloy and dating.

i do agree with the ones you enumerated though.

So true, di ba bai?

Here's my share:
1. Repair shops across the country:"We specialized in....."
2. Open/close your computer, when they mean turning it on or off. As with the case with lights: "open/close the lights".
3. The "na" extension so common among teen boppers " You keep it...NA! (Lintek, ok na sana yung english)
4. CONO Talk
5. Fact: Starbucks make people speak English suddenly.
6. Jeepney mud guard :"It's hurts if I'm not the First".
7. T-Shirt : " I is in College"

Full-Out instead of Pull-Out. Yan ang spokening english ng secretary namin. Pati spelling ganon din :eek: hehehe

Nung nasa Japan ako, may clothing stora na ito ang marquee:

"We Support Your Socks Life".

Lahat ng klaseng kulay ata ng medyas, meron sila.

what is correct english anymore? you go on the most reputable tv stations, newspapers or websites here in the US and you'll find typos and grammar mistakes all over the place. yes, i'm talking NBC, CNN, ESPN.

although the best one i heard recently was a pinay yelling at her white boyfriend/husband --> "keep shut!"

nalito siguro kung "shut up" or "keep quiet" yung sasabihin

true true, puros slang na lahat ngayon...

Kerek(ala Kris A.) ka kapatid! Marami ring akong kaibigan na "nakalimutan" ng mag-tagalog dahil nasa abroad sila for 5 years and above which I doubt 'coz they left Pinas in their early 20s.

Wrong English, grammar, spelling, etc. by our own Kababayan should, IMO, be CORRECTED by the peeps who know the correct way NOT BY LAUGHING OR MAKING FUN from their mistakes. Remember tao lang tayo at nagkakamali.

:happy:

During ROTC days.... while being punished for showing up without the prescribed haircut that was announced the day before.

While doing some push ups, our S4 officer scolded us..."I told you to cut your haircut, now look at!" Ayun, instead of doing the punishment, di na namin matapos coz we were laughing na! Realizing na mali yung sinabi niya, umalis yung officer namin.
