    Peter Espeut | Bad English and bad Creole


    The truth is that some of us are genuinely bilingual, while others of us are proficient in one, and dabble in the other, such that what comes out is either bad English or bad Creole.

    THERE IS ONLY ONE ONANDI LOWE!

    "Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.


    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

        1 million. Words mane.gramma.spelling .putuatuation To write ,read and talk English.
        the best talkers of anglo languages are
        English themselves and in my opinion
        If you ever hear a Bermudian native
        Speak,them too.The Canadians are
        better speaker of English than Americans
        Which are worst off than Aussies and
        New Zealand.What we like about usa
        Is their unique baby voice.
        I find it attractive.Those nationals
        Are among the best the rest follows.

              Unnuh!
              How do you write the Jamaican creole word/grunt for "yes"...but more than "yes" as in strong agreement with/on a topic?

              Let me say such again - Uh-humph!
              "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
