Before I begin, let me just clarify that I am not expert in this matter. And I'm not THAT particular either (as you can obviously see from my writing). BUT, I can safely say that I know the basics. And I AM particular about whatever basic knowledge I know about the English language.
This morning, I called the company who is in-charge of the network at the airport. I was greeted by one of those voice operator thingy. Don't know what it's called. You know, the one who's telling you to press 1 for Bahasa or 2 for English kinda voice. Only thing is, this voice did not ask me to choose the language, it's only in English. No problemo.
Next I heard this:
We ARE apologize, all our officers are busy at this moment!
Aiyoyo!!! And this voice is repeated every 30 seconds, I'm not joking! I hang up after the 6th time, it was giving me a headache and I felt embarrassed just listening to it!!

Correction Jane,
"Are you enjoys?"
:)
oops sori tuan.. plural right?
haha.. the 'are you enjoys' is how it's most popularly known. Some variants are available such as 'are you enjoy' or a simplified 'enjoys'.
Either way, it's English at its mangled best ;)
