2nd request (in another thread too)....but, I am practically begging now....

I have a request guys..........Could you not write so much in Patios? I'm having a tough time figuring out what you are trying to say.

I'm pretty fluent in speaking; just not writing.

Please........Please.....Please.....I don't want to miss something really funny, you know?

Ditto, as a yawd person I speak fluent patois :lol:, but it should be written in moderation, a little sprinkling here and there. When it gets too elaborate I totally skip it in a hurry, it gives me a headache trying to read it.

You can call me and chat it all you want. I just can't read it well.

Thanks girls.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

I'm sorry. I think I opened the floodgates a few days ago. It's hard to relate a funny story in Queen's English when it was so funny because of the colorful word choices used in patois...but I will do better I promise.

You can call me and chat it all you want. I just can't read it well.

Thanks girls.

I kinda like the challenge. I don't get to hear it as much. My fiance only speaks proper English when speaking to me...unless he is telling a story. So I get a kick out of at least trying to read it. :blush:

My ex would only speak in proper English when I first met him and he was still in Jamaica, no matter how much I begged him not to. I wanted to learn patwah in the worst way, and I wanted him to teach me. Well poop on me because as soon as he touched US soil nothing but pure patois in the last 5 years. He said that he didn't want to loose it and start twanging. My sister to this day cannot figure out what he is saying to her. Him and my brother would sit and talk for hours on end...just for my brother to whisper in my ear later that he didn't have a clue what he was saying yeah too. LOL

I will only speak proper English when I am around those I know won't understand. Many push and prod, but to me it makes no sense to do it for their entertainment. Now around Jamaicans and other Caribbean nationals, I let it fly....But if they tick me off, they'll get all the entertainment they can stand
