<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">This site was conceived, designed and is maintained by Larry Chang, a native speaker of Jamaican, amateur linguist and philologist, writer, poet, artist and activist. Born in Alexandria, Saint Ann, he grew up in Brown's Town where he learnt patois in his father's shop where the country folk used to gather every market day. <span style="font-weight: bold">He was not allowed to speak patois at home and would be punished when his big sister caught him "talking bad." It was worse when he went to school at the upper class Servite Convent where the British nuns frowned on anyone who spoke patois.</span> Later at York Castle High School he would win a debate proposing that the Jamaican language should be officially recognized. His speech, written in the Cassidy-LePage system, tore the place apart. This was about 1966 and though he tried to preserve a copy of the speech it was lost as he moved from place to place.

So even the standard different?? they have their own standard? i thought it would follow that written English is similar to spoken English.
