What others say about Chinglish
| "The attempt to suppress Chinglish is
probably futile as well as draconian. If, in fact, it does exist as a
contact language between two language groups then it is not only a healthy
development but a necessary one." "The Chinese call their occasional butcheries of English: Chinglish - this pronunciations, gaucheries, garbled verb tense or number (Chinese has neither), wrong pronouns, direct mental translations from Chinese idioms. I found these mistake sweet, comic, interesting, creative, and no impediment to communication - urally...I did not misspell that word; it is this shibboleth of Chinglish." "long time no see,已经是美国人很常用的说法了,来自Chinglish 呵呵" "Chinglish is often quaint and attractive, expressing the hospitality and unique perspective of the Chinese world-view. Sometimes it is quietly amusing, raising a smile for foreign visitors; on other occasions it can be confusing. Sadly, Chinglish is sometimes just plain bad English and shows a careless and unprofessional approach to translation, even by large companies and organisations." "The purpose of all language is effective communication. There may be some purists who look down upon "Chinglish”"or anything less than "perfect English but of course their definition of what perfect English is will also depend upon which of the 7 standard English forms they consider to be their native form or “pure English."
