Excuse.Me.My.English

Hubby is one of (one of?!) the silent reader of this blog. Apart of that he is also the grammar police of the posts. The other day;

Him: I read your latest post. (the Aduhai Anakku)
Me: Then?
Him: It's funny.
Me: Funny? Nothing's funny in there.
Him: Read it again. So many errors.

Well, i bet you already knew, my English is nothing to boast about. It needs to be fixed as it is 'broken'! And whenever i write a post in English, i never recheck on my English, assuming everything's in order (grammar wise etc.). Anyways, it seems that my messages were conveyed quite well despite of the broken and grammatically wrong English.

I got C3 for English in my SPM, and never had a good grade in Uni either. But, i do speak well in English. Not to exaggerate, but that is the feed back that i used to received from interviews. No doubt in a real working world, English is quite important but not crucially necessary as I've worked with people with poor English. Maybe, because i worked with numbers. Communication was mostly done with all and about numbers. So, i never has any chance to improve my English. Reading? The last serious reading i had was before i delivered my baby girl!

S'il vous plaƮt excusez mon anglais.
