"Mad About English"

[faineant]

If you've never heard of this movie, go YouTube it. Extremely hilarious. You won't regret it. Trust me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBFEgMqhOs4

Should make one about Singapore too. Some of my top favourites in Singaporean English:

delegated service (dedicated service)
stuffs (stuff)

and for those NSmen out there who've prob heard it before:
tunnel (tonner)
