 On 11 February 2015, "kiasu" was chosen as OED's Word of the Day.Singlish vocabulary formally takes after British English (in terms of spelling and abbreviations), although naming conventions are in a mix of American and British ones (with American ones on the rise).For instance, local media have "sports pages" ("sport" in British English) and "soccer coverage" (soccer—originally slang for "association football"—while used in Britain, is more usually called just "football").
