Open your eyes

Every now and then (mostly now) I come across silly little things I like to share. Today my co-worker is contributing with the text on his t-shirt.

What happens when you drink a number of pints:

  1. No change for your English.
  2. Your English goes up a level.
  3. Your English goes up a level (but your grammar goes down).
  4. You become very fluent, but start mixing English with your own language.
  5. You discover you can sing in English and are brilliant at karaoke.
  6. You suddenly know a lot of taboo words in English.
  7. You can't speak English at all (and also forget your own language).
  8. You start speaking American English.

This t-shirt is from London and I can't help but wonder if this contempt for the American kind of English is something that's common for the English people. Maybe they're just stuck up idiots themselves who hate all other kinds of English. I'll get back to you on this.
