I think some readers click here due to the post in HKGolden above.
As the first post in this blog said, you may find "broken" English in here. You can point out my grammatical mistake in comment section.
Anyway, some HongKongers may think "good" English as "complicated" English, please look the following reply in the post above:
英國人?咁既修辭技巧只算中三程度...不過冇辦法...佢要掩飾文法唔掂既事實,唯有用最淺易既英文....
Oh! My God, only HongKonger may think simplest English is the way to hide my "broken" English. In HongKonger point of view, complicated English is "good" and "advance". Really? For daily use, simple and clear English is enough.
On the other hand, this post in HKGolden explains the cause of Hong Kong poeple English in decline, the people only laugh other people writes blog in "broken" English and never encourage it.
You never jump into water, you never know how to swim. Only a few Hong Kong people understand the importance of "drinking water" in learning process.

Simple English is extremely difficult. Choosing the exact right word is the key.
Barack Obama is a recent example. But none can surpass Winston Churchill save, perhaps, the Bard himself.
doubt it !
My UK tutor always complain I am writing in 'over complicated and difficult to understand' English.
But that was what I am used to in HK !
Ignore those ignorances
