      Very nice Sarsoor

      I used to think that English was only one, but the first time I started using dictionaries like Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, and else I learned that English varied in written according to the place English is spoken

      So I found that we have: ~!@q
      . British English
      . American English
      . Australian English
      . Indian English
      .Canadian English
      . Caribbean English
      . Irish English
      . New Zealand English
      . Pakistani English
      . South African English
      . Scottish English
      ~!@@ab

      And no wonder will have Saudi English and Omani English very soon :menshared

      There's a language known as Esperanso.. that is thought to become a globale language in the future becaues it's been approved to be the easiest for that it has around six grammatical rules only... and a number of countries have adopted teaching it and think it's working pretty well with their poeple

      hehe I cant see any difference in what you said.. lol
      Chips is also used as friend potatoes except it comes in thicker shape while french fries are really thin..

      Anyway, it was really funny reading the malaysian english, but as you said we do have the arabic english though.. I dont find it easier for me to use that form, but if it was arabic english then I can consider it easy although sometimes I find that using only english words makes it easier for the other person to understand me. I dont care if it is easier for me or not, Im more concerned about people understanding me because I really need to get my message across in the right context

      this 'lah' thingie is used in malaysia, singapore, brunie, and surprisingly in Salalah :P and I heard it also from few people who are called bloosh in Oman, no offence, but I first learned that word from my friends who were bloosh :D

      Cheers
