English lah

I have an Indian officemate who is very funny (even if he does not exert effort to be funny). Here are some of the humorous quotes

-'My one is missing'. He went to my seat and murmured those words with a worried look. I said 'what?'. He replied again, 'my one is missing', pointing to my monitor. I then figured out he has some files missing. After checking I found those missing files and told him, 'no, your one is there, it's not missing'. 'Oh thank you'. See I'm a fast learner, copycat. :)

-'There was one time when he was browsing on some bank's websites. Suddenly in a loud voice, he asked, 'hey what's TT?' I said 'where did you see that?'. He replied several times, 'TT', 'TT'. I had to control my laughter, what in the world is this TT thing (not that I'm green, but my top recall of those 2letters is a Filipino word). It was only by chance when I got to ask my sister if there is such banking term TT, and she said yes, telegraphic transfer that is :p

Other funny terms: Singlish / Hindi-ish. :

'upgradation' of contract - upgrade

my aunt 'expired' ---- past away

scheduled pronounced as shedule

I shall send you this email and print the same - 'the same' appears so many times

#1 --- it's not number 1 but hex 1

' --- this is not apostrophe but inverted comma

this one can, this one cannot - everything is can and cannot. can help check this issue. can do this can do that.
