My SG passport can't be used for authorization.

I hope you are not attempting humour. Our English standards are not great by any means, and we do misspell many words.

Substituting actual words of different meanings will certainly not make some of us do a double take, but instead confuse our vocabulary.

Seriously I'm not joking.

The word that you looking for is homophones, and (unless my proof reading failed) there are no mis-spellings in my post. All the words are correctly spelt.

 

And while it might be a bit to cerebral for you, I was making a joke at the expense of the TS. Take a quick read of the OP again... then perhaps it will become clear - if not concise.

 

Further, do take a closer read of my post - what I said is rather genuine, while I do agree that English "as it is broken" can often be improved in our day to day communication, I am being very sincere when I say that, given I couldn't even learn a second language to the level of a 5 year old I am in absolutely no position to pass any sort of judgement when it comes to the language ability of people that can easily switch between two languages at will.

Non-Cancerous Version.....

 

My suspicion, TS was using his SMARTphone to type the post. Stupid Autocorrect!

yes, you're rather sagacious,

 

I hope you're as healthy and wealthy as you are wise [grin][scholar]

 

And I have made some rather epic blunders because of the damned blardy irritating usurper that is my phone

Thank you for pointing that out, although I get your insinuations, I am always happy to learn from better speakers/writers of the English Language.

 

Take heart there are few truly bilinguals even rarer true polyglots. Being a solid monolinguist is way better as thought and logic is very much tied to language. Being master of not even one language can hamper the ability for higher level logic thinking.

 

PS: I was not picking on your spelling. But rather as your pointed, using homophones to mock the TS. The more common mistakes we are apt to make are misspellings.

 

PPS: why do we always thread-jack?

Coming back to topic, just go down to LTA office and get a PIN. No need to pass your IC to the person, just give him the PIN letter.

If you cannot convince, then confuse.

haha... sounds like some sales person in here - the 3C of a marketing guy...

1st - Confuse the intended buyer

2nd - Convince the person into accepting the sale, finally

3rd - Con the person into parting his/her money.... [thumbsup]
