Sofarsogood Clutched October 3, 2010 Share October 3, 2010 I just feel yucky whenever this advert comes on. Why don't they use native speakers? Imagine how it will sound with singlish? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ender Hypersonic October 3, 2010 Share October 3, 2010 (edited) Hey, it works. I've been using sensodyne for a month and began to develop some kind of weird accent. I think it's british, but need an ang mo to verify that. So no false advertising there. :D :D Edited October 3, 2010 by Ender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
