She sells sea shells...
Okay someone explain this one to me.
Here we have the Speak Good English movement in full swing, proudly plastered across buses the country over (technically, it ought to be the Speaking English Well movement innit? But I shan't nitpick... for once...)...
... and yet we have, in large letters all over EVERYTHING else from a yacht to an entier street, the inspiring phrase, "Uniquely Singapore."
It has a certain ring to it (much akin to the sound one gets when you sustain a severe head injury from blunt trauma) no?
But... that's like saying Jealously Sheep. Or Drunkenly Goat. The point being that you can't put a noun after an adverb... at the very least make it an adjective.
Like Uniquely Singaporean.
Or Unique Singapore. That works too.
Anyway, I'm going to go Blurly Stone now.
(See? See? I'm getting the hang of this Singlish thing.)
