I suppose that, if I were in China, the best I could hope for would be Englese

I’m lying in bed, surfing the web.  Ladybug is talking to a Chinese friend in Canada, using that enunciation that she reserves for non-native English speakers.  I’m listening to her, thinking that voice recognition would serve her well.  She has a good voice for poems, though she would not be caught dead reading a poem aloud.  I should make her read what I write so I can hear it aloud.  I would be mortified to hear her read my poems aloud.  She is talking to a friend who speaks Chinglish.  She would not read in Chinglish.
