Any one felt that all English speaking young South Indian ladies has same accent? North Indian ladies too have their own.

You would find spoken English here very curious. Malay/Chinese/Indian have their own accent when speaking English. But athuleyum got break. A more anglicised (not Peter, they grew up speaking English at home) ones have different accent than their fellow mother-tongue speaking brethren. But in Singapore younger generations are more likely to sound like each other.


Or am I stating the obvious. Duh.

Come is now-a-days being used for Cum. So, ppl started using the word go. When one of my colleagues said "Are you going with me tomorrow?", I was confused. Then he explained this.
Caveat: I am not 100% sure if this is the real reason. Just posted what I heard.
