Where are you currently living?

[ghostdarTeal'c]

this poll is so cool, yearning!

[yearning]

Thanks, now go and do the age one =P Or maybe in a while so your identity will be concealed haha...

[Felix]

Would it have made sense to see who chose what?

exactly what i was thinking.....but what does age matter, right? tho, looking at those numbers makes me really miss my teenage years...

[yearning]

Your attempts at humour are getting increasingly pitiful.

Yearning, you need to publicize everything more - make banners, put the thread in your signature, send endless PMs to everyone to vote...that is how you get results

I'll vote for Australia to make up for Net's lie, since I wasn't intending to vote anyway.

i thought it was cool to vote for Africa. It has the word cool next to it

You need to be proactive to get people to participate in the poll.

There is one sure to get lots of participants.
Pay $10.00 to every one that votes.

maybe i should create multiple accounts and vote here

[yearning]

Lol I like my signature the way it is though =P Lots of people from NA I see....

[Guo Xiang]

Other Asian Country, I voted.

Is it just me or is it weird that no one from HK, Taiwan, or China has voted yet? Maybe because of the language barrier.

Btw, is English one of the official languages of Singapore? Does everyone speak it very well?

There are quite a number of posters here from HK, TW and China. But your question was 'Where are you *currently* living?' so these people sort of crossed over to the other poll options, such as America, etc.

It very much depends on your definition of "well".

While it is one of S'pore's official languages, and is used most often here among the other recognised languages, if you're looking for grammatical-English speakers, then I'll have to say it's in the minority. By minority, I do not mean it's extremely rare, but it's really hard to encounter these people among the many others. Typically, when it comes to speaking, people here use rather simple English, so don't expect much from them. In addition, if you're an anti-Singlish person, then the word "well" definitely doesn't apply to Singaporeans and their English-speaking capabilities.

So, in all, no. Not everyone here speaks good English.

That's what I meant though, since I thought there would be some Spcneters living in HK/Taiwain/Mainland right now. But I guess those people prefer to browse Chinese forums? Dunno.

Haha, so do you guys say "speak Engilsh good" then?

[Guo Xiang]

Haha, so do you guys say "speak Engilsh good" then?
