Joke

SK asked, "what's the word to use for describing Mr n Mrs? Something that starts with M......"

RT replied, "M? Marital Status? you asking about their marital status?

Overheard the conversation, i added, "are you asking about MR, Mrs and including Mstr and Miss? Those? I think it is something like salutation. Not Marital Status lah. That is saying Single, Divorced, etc.....Let me call my expert..."

SK, "no lah....i think yah, its marital status..."

Me, "Hundred percent not lah.....i'll go find..."

And the conversation temporary ended....

Guess what i did next? i went to dictionary.com, type in the word marital status, paste the link to SK and RT and went to find an online form and cut out the word to prove my point

Marital Status: noun : the condition of being married or unmarried




after receiving this message, RT replied, "wow steady, university student really is different"

i was thinking, "i'm sure everyone has filled in forms and know that the word is definitely not Marital Status."

Speaking of learning good english....my english is getting bad.....
