Oh My English - "Chop"

So, what is the post actually?

I came across this while shopping. Can you spot the error?

'Malaysianising' your English

We Malaysians are so fond of  Malaysianising our English language. Here is one example I found on the Internet.

Do you have other examples or stories?

Do you speak English?

In the Malay language, to ask someone if they speak a language you would say "Boleh cakap English?" or the literal translation is "Can you say/talk English?"

In that case, it would not be wrong if you asked in Malay and be misunderstood as your ability to say or express the word "English"

Therefore...

A: Boleh cakap English?(Can you say/talk English?)

B: Ya. English (Yes. English)
