New blogsite....

Hi, everyone! Welcome to Jordan's Little World of Whatever! It has been a long time since I had last blogged. To read some of my old blogs, here is the link: http://jordan_quah.blogs.friendster.com/jlog/

There are a few reasons why I believe that I should start blogging again, but the main reason is to past the time without wasting it. I realized that my standard of English has been deteriorating little by little since coming to the United States of America.

The people of the world always think of the United States of America as high and mighty in every aspect. In most cases, they are right. However, written English is not one of them. Studying in the University of Kentucky has made me realized that. I have seen many spelling and grammatical errors in the notes and reports of both students and professors.

This is not to say that I have never made any written errors, it would be like the pot calling the kettle black if I did. However, the extent of their errors is beyond comprehension. At one time, I had to use MS Word's spell check for my team member's part of the project report, just to get a vague idea of it's content. It is THAT BAD!

Although I have "painted" a gloom picture of America's written English, this is not to be confused or mistaken that all Americans have horrendous written English. This is merely my perspective of the level of the written English in my university. However, it is hard not to believe that many Americans can hardly write proper English when there are so many "intellectual" people with atrocious written English. Or maybe, it is just Kentucky, where I am at currently.

Well, I guess that is all the blogging for now. I have to prepare for a friend's wedding tomorrow. Pictures, pictures, picture! Ciao!

PS: Do correct me on my English if you find any error. Thanks!
