"Equations are the devil's sentences." - Stephen Colbert
***
Recently, I've discovered a bizarre new Singaporeanism:
"creme la crop"
(The correct version, of course, is "crème de la crème")
Whereas there're other English faux pas, this one seems Uniquely Singapore (there're only 2 isolated examples of its use outside the Singaporean Internet, and even then both are a variant: "la creme la crop")
Palsambleu!
