This reminds me of all those times I cringe whenever I heard people say "Melberm" (Melbourne) or "charge" (chart).

Purple, before you comment, reflect on your cheena!!!!
If you've been reading my posts, I have never claimed for my cheena to be good. In fact, I have acknowledged that it's just on paper that I get my distinctions for my cheena, but at least I can WRITE properly to get them 'A's, hor.
Anyway, if I had to choose between good english and good cheena, I would go for the former.
