Repressed Personality
It is quite amusing when someone who speaks fluent English and usually writes correctly suddenly sends out a string of emails with atrocious
grammatical errors. One particularly email stood out as perfectly 'not
understandable'.
I was reprimanded though, for having a good laugh at her expense. But I'm sure she doesn't mind ;)
And then the perfect English started coming back. Ah it was temporary. She was probably under stress and typed her emails too fast.
But then, it happened again. And again.
I have a theory for this. The Ah Lian in her is trying to get out. Or she has some repressed memories, and it manifested into bad English.

Not as strange as it sounds!
I speak with an odd Eastender-Australian-mix accent. But I write (or type) with an American one!
Just noticed that.
I change my style according to who I'm talking to. Because most of the people on AIM are Americans/Canadians/Europeans, I have to speak proper English with them or they won't understand me.
With locals I tend to be more relaxed with the whole grammar spelling thing and switch between normal English and local English, but I like to use wrong grammar purposely to piss off the really anal ones. (like a certain someone who likes to nitpick in my blog)
It's fun. *grins*
