You didn't say where your mom is. No I don't write only in Jamaica. Even when I do, I am very conscious of internatinal audiences because it is part of the role of using Jamaican culture to bridge gaps and erode negative stereotyes of Jamaica. I teach each year at the University of The West indies, groups of students who are here on a college semester abroad programme, from School for International Training in Vermont. I teach them Jamaican language and culture, so yes I use the Jamaican language, but I explain a lot of stuff so non Jamaicans can understand.

Misses yuh have yuh han dem full [/qb]

It takes planning and organizing, and learning to prioritixze. My day starts at 4.00 a.m.. If I hagve a psare moment, let's say I am at the doctor's office waiting for an appointmetn, I am either writing, reading, editing, or sleeping, I utilize my time relatively well. You have to , when you have a busy schedule and a young pbaby. Right now I am helping to trian the finalists in the Miss Jamaica Festival Queen competion, in how to answer interview questions , present themselves on stage and how to perform their talent piece. Training starteed last week.. summer school at UWI ended the week before,..so a bit of scheduling has to take place also

That means you are perfectly normal. you see, because it has been an oral language, there is no standardized writing system, . so what is correct and incorrect is totally subjective. There is a writing system developed at the university but it is meeting some resitance especally among older people. A couple of schools are embracing it. It is loosely called the Cassidy system and it was developed by two British Linguists who were in Jamaica, Frederick Cassidy and Robert lePage
