Learn about the advancements of Jamaican Creole

[RcOmK]

So a very misinformed Boardite, claimed that my Patwa was incorrect , when, in fact, I was writing Patwa in the new standard writing system, so I thought it would be good to introduce this awesome website that teaches the, very simple, writing system, so that others don't make the same ignorant statement as the Boardite, mentioned above, did.

Keep in mind this quote from the site before you visit it:
<span style="font-style: italic">
&quot;However, it can be confusing to someone accustomed to reading English <span style="font-weight: bold">and</span> who thinks that Jamaican is a form of English. Because Jamaican is a language in its own right and not just a form of English, a word that is pronounced the same in these two languages is often written differently.&quot;</span>

Rich, you beat me to it.
It remind me of the amount of money the Jamaican private sector spent trying to replace Reggae with calypso. another trickle down cultural intervention. It never happen. the people didn't ask for it, but those who think they know what is good for the little people spend money tyring ti give them their own <span style="font-weight: bold">separate but equal</span> written language. just like in Haiti. the ruling class speak good french, the rest don't understand a word in French, even after they reach the highest levels in school.<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: RichD</div><div class="ubbcode-body">when did this become &quot;official&quot;?
