Updates in the Manglish Dictionary

I was having a conversation today with a friend of mine and we discussed certain important things that should be included in the Manglish dictionary.

1) Adding an extra 'H' in certain words creates an added emphasis.

For example:

yes - yesH
no - noH

In the case of the word which expresses frustration,

Haiyah is more powerful than aiyah

This is because when you say it out loud, you have to take a deep breath and then emphasise on the first H in the word. This manner conveys more frustration than the plain 'aiyah'.

2) Adding 'the' strategically in sentences or remarks increases the value of the adjectives.

For instance:

"Very the good." is better than "Very good."
"It's so the painful." is more excruciating than "It's so painful."

On another note, everyone should check this out: 10 Words You Need to Stop Misspelling by The Oatmeal. Because it is really annoying when people don't know weather there wrong or not :P

Doesn't mean you can't laugh just 'cos it's a Monday
