Damn it!

Um, well, I'm ethnically Chinese but nationally Singaporean, which means we are (almost by definition, be we Chinese, Malay or Indian) effectively-bilingual products of the compulsory primary and secondary education system. And anyway, I WAS a humanities student (read: the somatophylakes), so I daresay I'm somewhere in the 99th percentile where language ability is concerned. *preens*

Anyway, we have gotta be pretty good at history in the first place to be able to find our way to this place and post, so I suppose language ability has to be good along the way, no? Otherwise how in the world would we write our essays/theses/posts? ;-)

But really, Mouzaphaerre, your English isn't half bad either. In fact, it is quite excellent compared to some of my own fellow countrymen. I'm quite frankly embarrassed at some of them.
