Some of the people here who are making fun of it would do well to emulate your modesty.

People I’ve known from Africa would embarrass most Americans in their ability to learn and become fluent in several different languages.

Good post. Serious subject. Ignore the others.

I have to ask. Did you know you were posting the BBC Pidgin version? Whatever that is.

The linked website says clearly in the header that it’s ‘pidgin’ English:

I have a neighbor that raises pigeons, perhaps he could help?

Seriously, I was a professional photographer. They started out making the the chemicals to develop film. Lots of chemicals. More than the film they made/make.

I have pet pigeons. Pigeons are possibly the dumbest birds in the world, excepting chickens. Pigeons aren’t multilingual, they only speak Pigeon.

The copy at the link made me think the UK had completely collapsed.

But according to Wikipedia,"Pidgin" is an informal (I am being very charitable) West African dialect of English that BBC News has a dedicated website for.

The Jamaican ‘patois’ is not the same as the West African ‘pidgin’:
