Eh touches, so what. i does talk meh yankee when i feel like, and ah damn good @ it too. i even had yankees bad talking WI to my face not knowing iz one.
it have men here from trini and they does be talkin pure jamaican and no body doh say shyte to dem, but they does want tuh frown on man who talking yankee and we livin in yankee town.
i livin in rome and i talking and acting like the romans in some instances. if i wanted to be a super trini, then i'd be livin in trini.
it have men who's been livin here in america over 20/30 yrs and they still talking like cane farmers, it sounds so uneducated and backward. imagine representing yuh self and yuh country and sounding like yuh from the bush.
no wonder ppl does treat we like idiots, i believe it's BC of the way some ppl represent caribbeans.
i all for keeping yuh accent, but just speak the language so ppl could understand what the hell you're say without strainin their ear drums.
BTW, i don't speak like those backward yow yow yow ghetto yanks, hell no! i does more drop it like an educated refine yank. the way i see it, we here in the english speaking west speaks only one solitary language, so why not speak it really well.
