Or those who watched one or too many american drama series that they suddenly developed a slang.

Ever encountered at a dinner event a true blue sinkie singlish acquaintance but his young pri sch son spoke americanized English with no singlish slangs and inflections because of YouTube and stream platforms .

So I guess if inoculate early enough ..

Some parents hire amdk tutors to teach their kids English on line. They think the school teachers just don't cut it. They want their kids to speak like a pure angmo.

I guess with excessive exposure, one can be conditioned to behave like that. Its also an indication the bloke has been watching too much of those content.
