I have to agree on this one. Singaporeans tend to use the word 'never' when they actually mean once only.. Please understand that it is Singlish, it is not proper english...

Singapore has a unique language known as 'Singlish". It is English but spoken with some local twang, because of the multi racial society. This is very common and understood by all Singaporean but if they are speaking to foreigners, they are likely to speak better English. And when they write it is the proper English.
Good Luck

Never is the Singlish(creole slang language spoken by some Singaporeans, all can/possibly/will speak proper English) equivalent of not. All of Singapore can/possibly/will speak proper English, but may choose not to.
If you want to understand Singlish, go to Wikipedia, they've got a bunch of Singlish equivalents to proper English.

Ha-ha, a good question certainly. I somewhat were following my expensive pal Banjaran etc’ Questions in Y!A for most months now having similar slant. i presumed it truly is me in problem-free words who would locate it somewhat relaxing at the same time as her Qs initiate with "spiritually talking". I had the impact that in India many stuff are tied up with faith and spirits and such supernatural phenomenon. So, "spiritually talking" ought to point that the Asker is calling for answer in that medium or spirit the position reason wondering receives lower back-bench, no longer particular even with the reality that. i imagine by including the adjective of "spiritually talking" he/she is aiming for solutions coming from moral, emotional, or psychological natured persons. And the answer is also in accordance to utopian (imagined acceptable position or state of issues) concepts; no longer coming from rudimentary (lower than advanced mind) idea procedure wish above would suffice!

Maybe you would like to brush up on your English skills first before making such a comment
NEVER comment about someone else's usage of something unless you are proficient yourself and NOT just passable

They are all proper English words. Is there anything wrong with using them in an honest manner?

Let me tell you an example; if I'll am rich, I'll can spend my money as my wish. So, if I'll can talk, I'll can talk any "O" how, why should you border ? We are not sitting for an oral examination of the "N", "O" and "A" level, so what is the big deal ?
