I just find it really weird (and unnecessary) that Singlish words are in the Oxford English Dictionary
a) Why does Singlish need to be integrated into English if it's more like another language?
b) Why should Singlish words be added if they cannot be used in a proper grammatical English language?
c) Why should Oxford recognition make Singlish any more legitimate that it was before?
d) Now you get to hear more people throwing out Singlish vocabulary as if they know it but it's so much more intimate than that
e) Obviously I'm more in favour of Singlish having recognition as a separate language system. Are black words in the OED?
