But, I do kinda hope the accent goes into overdrive if we read Shakespeare. Something about Shakespeare being spoke in a incredibly thick Jamaican accent is a little hilarious.

Oh, I'm sure that will be interesting to listen to.

Love, he was talking about someone who already speaks English. We were discussing accents.

Granted, it would be pretty hilarious if she stood up and started teaching English in French/Spanish/whatever bastard hybrid language that Jamaica may have spawned over the years.

Dya, if you're not using the dark theme, there's no change. I just checked -- it's the dark theme that's changed.

That would explain it...

If Dyakovo can post his again after a few corrections, then so can I.

I've never heard a deep Jamaican accent, but I imagine it can't be too terrible.

Though I know from experience that accents can be more incomprehensible than another language.

Neither do I.

Damn it, now we need to make a Jamaican join the NSG Collective and upload his/her cultural knowledge into the biolink.

For the past to hours I've been roaming the forums with no intention of contributing to, or comprehending the topic of most of the threads I've clicked, reading rather worthless posts on debate threads, only taking a breather once.

Would this count as a NationStates addiction, or, considering I've spent a lot of time on de kumpuder, an internet obsession?

There is a Jamaican Patois, but I'm not sure how many people in Jamaica actually speak it; but yes, a majority of Jamaica speaks English

I ramble a lot too, especially in front of the mirror and alone. I was just a bit curious about your statement and how antagonistic it came across as. Not trying to start a debate, it's just that it seemed to come out of nowhere.

Two hours? That's nothing. I've spent 12 hours doing that before.

Since South African culture seems to be based around hate crimes, I think it's not that fair of a competition.

There is something called Jamaican Creole, which some people consider a form of broken English.
