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.

Oh...
I'm sorry about the antagonism. :(

Well, Jamaicans speak English, Nat dear.

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 don't give a damn what Wikipedia says, South Africans don't speak English even when they speak English. I don't understand every other word.

Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

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

Granted, the American South was that bad up to around 50 years ago.

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

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.

And thus, all the kids came home speaking in Jamaican Patois.

I don't know... hate-crimes seem relativly straight forward... as opposed to the hypocritical culture that occupies O.C. California.

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

Oh, so the time I spend will extended overtime, will it? :unsure:

"Bachenchod" is Strangeforeignish for "sister fucker".

And you should probably learn how to speak English before comparing English countries, alright?
