雖然很多人都說網上用的語言過於簡單, 看得多用得多會令人忘記'正統'的語言.
但凡事也有例外.
我很喜愛看外國人的投訴信. 在網上不難發現一些非常幽默但卻寫得不錯的投訴信.
雖然投訴人已經很憤怒, 但仍能以幽默的方式表達不滿, 真的是很好的學習材料.
早前已說過其中一篇:

這裏節錄了一些關於曼谷一間酒店的投訴:
Daer Eastin Hotel,
Your hotel is Garbage. Garbage I tell you! You boast about being the top of the 4 star hotels in KL? I think not! Your vacuum cleaners s*ck and there are farm animals in the bathroom next door keeping me and the rest of the hotel guests up at all hours.
The very fact that I had to write this letter on the bedsheet should be proof that your business facilities are well below par.
I remain ever furious,
Ian-In-Bangkok

Dear East Inn (oops, is this a HOTEL???)
Sorry for the handwritten letter on toilet paper, but the computers don't work and there isn't any paper. I would have rung to make my complaint, but your staff don't speak English and I can't get any reception here either.

the collection of wildlife in my room is an entemologists delight, and they are so easy to study as the noxious fumes from the air conditioning unit puts them in a state of suspended animation
in your bar l was charged extra for the lipstick on my glass, no way will l be paying this charge as `Passionate Plum` simply isnt my colour
my sleep was disturbed again last night by the never ending clank of the paramedics trolleys transporting those guests unlucky enough to try chef`s `Cholera Suprise` at dinner
and finally pay-per-view channel only shows repeats of the UK prison drama `Bad Girls` and not `Screws with bad girls` as stated in your film guide

以下是一個外國人在泰國布吉逛街時被商戶阻截兜售商品時的幽默回應:
With the tailor touts I have found a good response.
Tailor Tout: (hand outstretched) Hello Papa.
Me: I don't care what your mother told you, it was not me!!!
I am normally left alone after that.

如果我有他們一半的功力便好了! 但是人老了, 學東西很難吸收. 每每看完一本novel後,學到的字都忘記得一乾二淨
