      I talk patios everyday and not ashamed of it. Just see it as ridiculous for wanting to teach it in schools? Note, using it for drama, poetry, literature is fine .. anything else is a waste of time. Wha kinda standardization yuh want? All a we learned in English ... why unuh waan mek today's children more confused than they already are?

          Poor, unrefined, cunchri, Lazie. You would only be served such a meal as part of a 5 course dinner. By di time yuh get to here, yuh belly full! And desert and coffee nuh come yet!

          Go out sometime, Lazie. Give the Colonel a break!

            no by making them write it.
            • Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

                I've stepped away from this comical debate bout teaching in patios. You and the rest can keep it up.
