Bad English - A Vent!

Okay' date=' here's my "Bad English" vent: don't speak pidgin English to Thais! You're only reinforcing their bad grammar. I can't tell you how grating it is when I hear some farang say to a Thai "where you stay now? I go Sukhumvit"... etc. And I hear it every single day here.

How about farang who speak pidgin English to each other? Ever run into them? That is totally bizarre.

 

yes! I have, actually. possibly more than once but one joker really sticks in my mind, I run into him all the time at various Nana bars and up and down sukhumvit...nice enough guy but he *always* speaks in that "I go my house" and "what you do" baby grammar...drives me nuts!
