Want to speak better than 90pc of native English speakers?

Haha, that's the claim made in the header above!

The full title of the YouTube video below is "Want to speak better than 90 per cent of native English speakers? Then learn to pronounce every word here!"...

Actually, the poem -- dubbed "The Chaos" -- that inspired this video is available on this great website:

But if you would rather read about and watch a local spoof video about a Singaporean "mother" nagging her "daughter" to study hard so as to snag a rich husband, here's the insing.com link:

I love the part when the "daughter" scored 45/100 for her English test, got scolded for not passing the test; then scored 55/100 (pass) but still got scolded; and finally scored 98/100... and was still scolded for not getting those two marks that would make it 100/100!
