me likes bad grammar personally. I've just been to singapore recently for about two weeks and they have what they call 'singlish' there, like a really bastardised version of English. The thing is, many 'singlish' expressions would be grammaticaly wrong according to British grammar. But on the other hand, everybody understand the meanings of singlish expressions and i see no problem with it - it's like they don't need to give a shit whether singlish they are using is correct or wrong according to british standard because they still manage to communicate effectively using 'grammatically wrong' singlish expressions within singapore.
When you think about it, english is a bastardised version of languages that came before it, and the languages that came before it would be bastardised version of languages that came even before them and so on.
in short, i don't think anybody from any particular location owns exclusive legitimacy for a language. I think Japanese or Russian or anybody else in the world have as much right to mess around with English grammar as anybody else, and obviously this applies not only to english, but any other languages as well.
anyway, on the other hand, this also means that everybody has right to enjoy other people's grammatical 'mistakes'.
(on a personal note, it just feels great to not care at all about grammar because i have to care about them anyway at work... trying to tidy up my grammar in informal conversations would be like trying to keep my home as tidy as my office...)

i made a mistake in one of my song:
you didn't thought it'd be easy
i'm ashamed.. does it hurt english ears? For it sounds good to mine.

gotta say, every song by the Manic Street Preachers - Richey and Nicky really needed to get their heads round prepositions and verb endings

Here's one that always cracks me up:
Now we’re old and grey Fernando
and since many years
I haven’t seen a rifle in your hand
can you hear the drums Fernando?
Cheers,
George
