Confluence of Cultures

        A professional involved in a merchant marine career gets to meet and mingle with people of different cultures and nationalities. This helps the individual to understand and function better as a team player and learn the nuances of different cultures and traditions at the same time. This automatically increases adaptability and brings about more awareness about what goes and what doesn't in a different country.

QUEEN - WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS


I’ve paid my dues

Time after time

I’ve done my sentence

But committed no crime

And bad mistakes

I’ve made a few

I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face

But I’ve come through

We are the champions, my friends

And we’ll keep on fighting ‘til the end

We are the champions

We are the champions

No time for losers

‘Cause we are the champions of the world

    By the end of the twentieth century English was already well on its way to becoming a genuine lingua franca. Just as in the Middle Ages Latin became for a time a language of international communication, so English is now commonly used in exchanges between, say, Japanese and Argentinian business people or between Singaporeans and their Vietnamese counterparts.

    A number of researchers have studied lingua franca conversations and have noted a number of somewhat surprising characteristics, including:

     • Increasing of redundancy by adding prepositions (We have to study about... and Can we discuss about...?).

    • Large use of certain verbs of high semantic generality, such as do, have, make, put, take.     

    • Pluralisation of nouns which are considered uncountable in native-speaker English (advices, staffs).

    The evidence suggests that non-native speakers are not conforming to a native English standard. Indeed they seem to get along perfectly well despite the fact that they miss things out and put things in which they ‘should not do’. Not only this, but they are actually better at ‘accommodating’ than native speakers are when talking to second language speakers.

(Jeremy Harmer. The practice of English language teaching. Adaptado)

As far as the teaching of standard English is concerned, the pluralization of the underlined noun is only acceptable in alternative:
