Chinglish and Englese
I just added the words "Azn" and "Pryde" to my MS Word dictionary. I like educating my computer about words that it should know.
Sometimes I like to make up my own words, including "Chinglish" (a vernacular hybrid of English and Chinese, with Chinese words used in over 50 percent of one's speech) and "Englese" (also a hybrid of English and Chinese, but this time with English words used in over 50 percent of one's speech). There are similar terms that may be used to describe other "hybrid" languages -- like Japanish, Tagalogench, and Germanorean.
