Do you realize that if you write the same story in plain english it will be commercially viable?
that is why i am against the increase use of patois. It simply isolate the speakers,and represent the value of the skills of the practitioners.
I know you don't agree with me, but That is my perspective. and i know you have a right to yours as well.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Wendilina</div><div class="ubbcode-body">He is getting the same hits.. excpet the firsyt one he sent

Dr Dudd ..I am sure you know that when I am writing I am writing for this audience (jamaican.com) I am not going to argue your point ..it is valid but a non patwa speaking audience was not my intended audience.

When it's time for the book I will consult you on making all the necessary English translations for me (with spell check of course)

Re: Live reporting from the scene of Amer Airlines flight 331

dr dudd fi recanize that part of the joy of the story is in the patwa and the culutre the patwa is expressing.

Re: Live reporting from the scene of Amer Airlines flight 331

it would not have the same impact in english. That's MY opinion and that's The ONLY correct one anyone who disagrees a EEEEDIAT!!!

MG - You know I made the same argument to someone when I was discussing whether to really write a book or not. You are right some of this jokes are intrinsically cultural and it's hard to write the kind of comedy I would feel comfortable writing to audiences that don’t understand the culture. I am not a romance novel kind of writer which would no doubtely have wider range .. I just love writing parodies and goofy Jamaican stuff but the audience is limited when it comes to writing a book. What to do

Re: Live reporting from the scene of Amer Airlines flight 331

keep doing what u doing, there's enuff of a jamaican market. well, nuff piracy a gwaan still, but i think u can achieve commercial success catering to the cultural market.

Re: Live reporting from the scene of Amer Airlines flight 331

So what do you say about the boards where they have to translate it and it is just as popular??
Of course a part will be due ti the patwa.
But that part is only a small percent of the Internet.
That is why China is making teaching of english in schools mandatory.
They still teach in Chinese, but they want to be able to communicate with the world.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: MGee</div><div class="ubbcode-body">dr dudd fi recanize that part of the joy of the story is in the patwa and the culutre the patwa is expressing. </div></div>
