I was looking online for the name of a book I saw about vocabulary and phrases for Domestic Workers, when somebody else was going to buy it for me from Mustafa's department store in Singapore where I had seen it earlier. It cost only about ten dollars.
While searching online for books about language, I found The Book Of Languages.
It was an amusing read, I thought, as I browsed through it on line on Amazon books. (I always try both amazon.com and amazon.co.uk).
When the book arrived by post, again easy to browse through, a handy reference book.
One thing struck me as odd. It said Japan occupied Malaysia and Singapore for about 100 years until 1945. That did not tally with I remember clearly reading about the Japanese invading Singapore during early WW2. I just checked on Wiki, 1942-1945
However, there is another entry for Japanese empire.
