Although im no fit tok, di young Jason dey always question di world around am.

I think that the article was translated from normal English to this patois

I wonder if at Cambridge University you can get a climate change degree in pidgin?

[Mr. K]

This is a satire site, isn’t it?

[HartleyMBaldwin]

I think this guy is writing like that as a joke, or to make some kind of stupid woke point.

I remember a 1975 article in Economic Geology about the Panguna copper deposit in Papua New Guinea, in which the author wrote the abstract in pidgin. It was one of the funniest things I ever read in that magazine, not that that’s saying all that much.

Old joke:
Shawan gets a sports scholarship to Harvard and is lost on the big campus. He asks a passing student, ‘Hey! You know where da gym’s at?’
The student replies, ‘Sir! This is Harvard and here we do not end our sentences in Prepositions.’ And walks away.
Shawan asks the next student, ‘Hey! You know where da gym’s at, Mutherf**ker?’

Note to self: Do not hire anyone who graduated from Cambridge.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I had one in high school who couldn’t speak English correctly and she was teaching French - she was a POS.

We had a gorgeous French citizen teaching and she moved away with her husband who was in the military so we got stuck with this crap. The entire class went from A’s and B’s, loving the class so much to a prison type atmosphere with grades dropping to C’s and D’s. She couldn’t even pronounce French words correctly and was an outright joke.

Mademoiselle Williams - you still suck with your big ol’ Cadillac that you would jump in at 3:02 and peel out while the other teachers did their jobs and stayed until 4 pm. You didn’t get fired soon enough.

How come Buckwheat didn’t sign his name to his statement?

[dfwgator]

"First of all, we must internalize the 'flatulation' of the matter by transmitting the effervescence of the 'Indianisian' proximity in order to further segregate the crux of my venereal infection. Now, if I may retain my liquids here for one moment. I'd like to continue the 'redundance' of my quote, unquote 'intestinal tract', you see because to preclude on the issue of world domination would only circumvent - excuse me, circumcise the revelation that reflects the 'Afro-disiatic' symptoms which now perpetrates the Jheri Curis activation. Allow me to expose my colon once again. The ramification inflicted on the incision placed within the Fallopian cavities serves to be holistic taken from the Latin word 'jalapeno'."

Bttt

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I ‘m sure that if Joseph Conrad,who could not speak fluent English till his twenties, could become a master of the English Language and write great English novels, what chance does this person have when at the age of 37, he still cannot speak understandable English but gibberish?

[lefty-lie-spy]

I’ve commented on BBC Pidgen before. This language is legitimate and used by millions. It’s fun to make fun of, but it is legitimate because this language usage is real.

[Tell It Right]

Agreed. Pidgen can be defined as an “official” version of broken English so that people who aren’t fluent in English, can somewhat understand each other (because they each speak different languages but all somewhat speak English).

[Vaduz]

Indeed the sad thing is many don’t get it.
