Grammar police here. The (all) is not needed, "what should I buy?" already covers the plural case. I have noticed this a lot in Indian English.
That's truly funny. Have you also heard the Anglo-Indian use of "y'all all"? :)))

etymotic ER4 are a bit expensive for earplugs that are not molded to your ear canal.

#45If it was me, it'd be a toss-up between a combination of: eReader, tablet, and a Nexus 4. Items to increase my learning efficiency (eReader/tablet) and productivity (Nexus 4). And I would wait til October for the new Paperwhite and probably the new Kobo Arc. Also I would want to put about 10-20% away into some sort of investment fund unless there were some items that offered a serious short-term productivity increase…
I already have Nexus 4, thinking about iPad mini.
And this is 80% of the actual amount :)

Which grammar? Which dialect? English is not monolithic, and Lowth and Murray were wrong.
