Ruth called me awhile ago to rant about how ludicrous her branch managers write and talk.I don't know how it all started because the idea of including "po" and "opo" in English sentences is so weird. You hear people saying "hello po" or "yes po." It sounds so idiotic, if I may say so. I was not raised using po and opo by my parents therefore I couldn't pass on the tradition to my own daughter so she speaks English. In English you use "sir" or "ma'am" to indicate respect. It is redundant to say "hello po, sir."
The result is a language that I find unacceptable especially for business communication.
