Body language, coquettish stares and sex, probably. LOL.<br/><br/>But apparently if you're THAT close to your spouse, you can communicate with him/her just by using your eyes. Yeah man.

It's the nightmare of all English teachers and readers. When I told her about that (I sort of knew her back then - before I severed all link of communications due to some arguments we had earlier), she freaked out, saying that it was her own blog so she could write whatever she wanted there....which is true, but please...have mercy on my eyes and my brain...(To tell you the truth I have no idea how she communicates with her husband with that kind of English. Body language, perhaps?) I once read a blog, which was written by an Indonesian woman who is married to a white guy and she wrote her blog entries in the worst English you could imagine.

Many Indonesians don't even care if they misspell words in their own language. <br/><br/>One ironic example is a banner for an educational fair.

That might ring some bells of truth to it, because Marian once described the way Irish people like to give street directions as the following:

“Do you know where the road forks to the left? You do? Good! Well don’t go that way.

And when you get to the end of the road and there’s a pub at the bottom of it, you’ve gone the wrong way, but so what, you might as well have a drink, anyway.”

But it’s due to the Irish hospitality that they’d rather say anything rather than saying ‘I don’t know’ because it’s just as bad as inviting people to dinner and expect them to bring their own food.

Well I guess that’s not too bad, isn’t it? :D
