I was washing dishes and listening to CBC, and this guy was talking about Chinglish. That sure grabbed my attention. So I decided to google it up.

Then I looked up this guy who was on CBC chatting about writing his PhD paper on Chinglish, but I cannot find him. This is the closest I got: http://www.cbc.ca/news/photogalleries/chinglish/ If you know the name of this person who’s writing a paper on Chinglish, please let me know because I would love to read it.
