                    Lemme help you. Standard patois would be the patois spoken by slaves.

                      hence the need for it to be standardised..yuh ever read "ye olde englishe" whey more used to write inna?!!

                      anyway...this is going round in circles...some people don't think it should be formalised, others do. i accept that. i belong to the group which "thinks outside the box" and DARES to suggest that patois should be formalised and taught.
