  1. Lady 👩 what you are saying it is not relevant at all, I don’t see nothing significant about English language at all. The white European colonial slaves masters forced it on our foreparents, and it comes down to us and. The generation in Jamaica 🇯🇲 kept forget their original language, and trying to take up another language which nobody in Jamaica 🇯🇲 can master. It is a very complicated language, I useto lived in England 🇬🇧 and. What I found out, that the way I was thought in Jamaica 🇯🇲 to pronounced words is. When I went to England 🇬🇧 I found out, that some of the pronunciation in Jamaica 🇯🇲 was wrong. Comparing to England 🇬🇧, because some of the words,how it is spelled. It is pronounced differently, then why spelling the words and. Pronounced it quite differently, it does not make any sense according to the syllabus. Jamaica should be paying more attention to our native language, which they called potwa. The proper name for our foreparents language from Africa named akon,we are being fooled all the way until now. Because our foreparents language some of us,is very prejudice against it.
    By some Jamaica people who does not know any better in life, they are telling you. That you are talking 👄 bad,because they are very, very ignorant of the facts. I only try to learned the so called English language ,that I can get a job according to the system in Jamaica 🇯🇲. Because the government still believes in the same colonial rules, that English language is Jamaica 🇯🇲 number one language. Which is not true at all, some people is only pretending like they know the intricacies about English language. But they are very much off from the whole scenario, because it is very much complicated. The people who speak Spanish they only learned English language, as a 2nd language to them. But they still maintained the original language, they are not like the Jamaican people them. They are so much against potwa that, I heard several Jamaicans parents. Telling their children that they does not want them talked the Jamaican potwa, because it is not really good for them. That is to show you the high level of ignorance, amongst our Jamaican people them. I being critizing on social media about my grammar according to some of those ningcompoos,because they does not know what to say. Because they are ignorant of the facts, you just cannot pleased some of our people at all. They are critizing you about everything and, with all the education some of them have. They are not making no use of it in life, more than just talking without no action. It is not the schools you attended in life, is what you do with what you learned. To make yourself becomes a very useful member of the society you are living, it not make any sense. That you have so much education and, you are utilizing it at all. More than dig an hole and buried it, if you looked at some of the words. The United States English language is quite different, from the one in England 🇬🇧 or the rest of English speaking countries. So why nobody is critizing the people of the United States, if they spelled words differently from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Because some people is just an hypocrites, they likes to criticized their own people over everything little thing. It is a crab 🦀 inner barrel mentality, we are living in the 21st century and, still strongly believes in our hypocrisy.

    1. 🇯🇲 Blair Boyd, “I don’t see nothing significant.”
      How can you see nothing, if it doesn’t exist. You meant ” I don’t see anything significant.”
      Some of your pointers are correct but it’s also important to be able to explain your ideas.
      Imply a teaspoon of patience/ tolerance, less a cupful of arrogance; you might learn something.
