FIRSTly & very importantly , i must say that they are not making that remark in the name of fun . They were judging & sterotyping us & that is far different from being made fun.sure, we can take a joke, anyone can but not something that is harsh and unspeakable like what`s printed on that particular article. Even if it was a "joke" , the way they put it is insult to us IJ girls. & it is not that i meant that they don`t sterotype other people and give them the title of "ah bengs " & " ah lians" it is not the matter of that . but they are now pin pointing us for something we shldnt be labelled at. & to note , it is a similar case but for them , they are the ones who doesnt want to speak up for themselves and after all they were just noted for their language & not something as disgraceful as compared to whats said to us & if you could just make a remark thinking it is a joke then there wouldnt be such thing as charging for a case of slander .Futhermore, since we ij schools are very against that kind of act that they stated us as.Originally posted by skyfoo:firstly, the "encyclopedia" of ST is purely for fun and laughter, thus cheeky. so in the first place, we shld not view anything in there seriously. if lidat, shld all the ah bengs and lians in singapore sue SPH coz they were being make fun of as well? they are too being stereotyped and generalised. they too have their own "reputation". it's similar case to CHIJ. so, u mean the ah bengs and lians had been shown disregards and disrespects also? their "reputations" are tanished? so they shld sue SPH? ans this.
oh, if the article is not written for fun, so it's a facade which main purpose is to bring IJ's name down? i'm truly amazed by that. SPH going one big round just to insult u girls. cool...Originally posted by sue_282:FIRSTly & very importantly , i must say that they are not making that remark in the name of fun .

since u got no statistics to back it up, u're admitting that IJ girls have good english is just a generalisation la? if u girls cant accept normative statement like "IJ girls are allegedly easy when it comes to the opposite sex", den pls dun give statement like "99% of them (IJ girls) speak PROPER and FLUENT english." thanks.Originally posted by sue_282:quoted from ditzy :
PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR CLAIMS
quoted from skyfoo:
and may i know where did u got ur statistics? self-claimed or official? if CHIJ eng is so powderful, why didnt 99% of ur fellow sch mates gotten A1 for their o lvl eng? why? tell me why?
I was inferring from something that was stated by belle26 . and giving a reason why - she was one of the 1 % !
1% of what i didnt say . and many of my school mates do get A1 for english - O levels.& there can be many reasons for not getting the A1s for their o levels. a case of nervousness...etc.
i am sure you are not 99 % perfect and so are the girls they cant be 99% right all the time. we all make mistakes.
IJ is the elite. We are just common folk. The elites are way above the common folk, hence IJ is above all. The elites will never comprehend us common folk.Originally posted by skyfoo:oh, if the article is not written for fun, so it's a facade which main purpose is to bring IJ's name down? i'm truly amazed by that.

and may i ask if u're one of the bengs and lians? if no, how do u know what they're thinking? when i read the article, i nv imagine there will be such an uproar from IJ. it's offensive to u girls but just a cheeky statement to us non-IJ students. likewise, the comments on the bengs and lians seem ok and alright to u, but to them leh? being human beings just like u IJ ppls, if they can appreciate the nature of the article, why cant u IJ ppls, supposingly with higher IQ and EQ, comprehend that?
you are right. actually i have never thought of that but it i still don`t think there is a need to put us in the centre of attention of that " joke"Originally posted by skyfoo:oh, if the article is not written for fun, so it's a facade which main purpose is to bring IJ's name down? i'm truly amazed by that.

if u really wanna know, no one really notice the statement until ur school committee wrote to the ST forum. shooting self in the foot.Originally posted by sue_282:you are right. actually i have never thought of that but it i still don`t think there is a need to put us in the centre of attention of that " joke"
