Murder of English: Sick leave application.

Salam,

Just sharing this hilarious sick leave application today. Have a great weekend. I know most of you might be busy doing Raya shopping this weekend. Just be sensible and not going over your budget or you'll end up borrowing other people's money before your pay check next month.

Allergic to grammatical errors.

Salam,

Just want to share these cartoon strips that I found through FB. Have a happy and fruitful weekend.

Oh My English

Salam,

Here are some sitcoms about the misuse of English words in Manglish. They are funny and at the same time teaching Malaysians how to use some English words correctly. I love their acting as well as the good scripts. Now, sit back and enjoy while learning how to use the words correctly.

Second sitcom:

There are some more sitcoms that they are producing and you can also watch these sitcoms on ASTRO.

Don't play, play?- The more suitable sentences(Use English Correctly Series)

Salam,

At 6 p.m., I shared some sentences that I came across from my daughters' sand art plastic wrap. The sentences were the instructions on how to do the sand art.

Here were the sentences:
MAKING METHOD:
1- PICK UP THE PART WHEN YOU WANT TO PAINTING.
2- SPRINKLING COLOR SAND ON THE PART.
3- SPRINKLING DEEP COLOR SAND FIRST, THEN THE SHALLOW COLOR SAND.


And here are the more suitable sentences:
Making method:
1- Tear up the part when you want to paint.
2- Sprinkle the specific color sand on the specific part.
3- Sprinkle the dark color sand first, then the light color sand.

Note:
Pick up- only suitable to use to lift up, improve, find, call for socially or arrest for crime.
Deep color? & Shallow color? - Deep and shallow are definitely not for colors but more for depth of water. 


Thanks to Yan and Idayu who tried to give me the correct sentences. Maybe next time we'll try with other sentences or you can even provide the sentences that you have come across somewhere.

Don't play, play?- How to correct these sentences? (Use English Correctly Series)

Salam,

Have you ever come across weird sentences or even funny sentences on any signboard, manuals, newspapers or magazines? Do you normally try to correct the sentences or words? I myself just can't help myself not to as I was trained to spot any mistakes or errors because as an English teacher, I need the skill to help me teaching my students.

So, I'm launching (yup- without any ribbons or formal ceremony-hehe) a series of "Use English Correctly" as part of compulsory entries every month. This idea came after I realized that teaching how to use correct English can be my niche in this blog.

To kick off this series, I want to share some sentences that I have found on my daughters' sand art plastic wrap. These instructions are written on top of the wrap to assist the kids on how to do the sand art. I'm going to share the sentences here and for those who happen to  read this entry, you are encourage to try to correct them. HOWEVER.......there's no prize what-so-ever for those who manage to give the correct answers. This is just a kind of free English tutorial for you. *wink*wink.


MAKING METHOD:
1- PICK UP THE PART WHEN YOU WANT TO PAINTING.
2- SPRINKLING COLOR SAND ON THE PART.
3- SPRINKLING DEEP COLOR SAND FIRST, THEN THE SHALLOW COLOR SAND.

So, what do you think? Can you tell me how to correct these sentences? Are you able to comprehend the sentences at the first glance?
