Why is your grammar so incredibly poor? I followed the link you posted, and their grammar is no better.

Their grammar isn't poor. They can probably write better than you. Trinidadians tend to use their dialect online. I've seen it from UTexas Trinidadians on Facebook too, and they're smart enough to be geosystems engineering students. Are you going to complain about reggae artists being incomprehensible too?

You're just as bad as those idiots that tried to legitimize ebonics.

You're taking a language that already exists, mispronouncing the words, then trying to justify writing the words the way you pronounce them.

If you want to be a thug and pronounce "that" like "dat", be my guest. But don't try to justify spelling the word that way.

I'm sure more refined and intelligent people from Trinidad don't type out their slang/accent.

Trinidadians, Jamaicans, etc, type like they talk on the internet because they CAN. IMO, it's pretty useful, because you can identify them. I would have never known there were West Indians posting in this thread if they didn't type "dat".

Your post is ridiculous, classist, and elitist. Do you know how English evolved? It's one of the most severe mish-mashes of multiple languages ever, and those languages it came from weren't "pure" either. Do you realize that French is the result of severe mispronunciation of Latin by Gaelic people?

Caribbean dialects and accents have nothing to do with being a thug-- that may be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Their (our) speech is OLD, and the result of Africans and Indians learning English and mixing their accents together. Everyone in the islands talks that way, to different extents.
It's not that different from cockney, Irish, or Australian slang and accents.Have you read Oliver Twist? We can't understand half of what they say either, but I don't see you calling them thugs. Is it because they are white, rather than Indian or black?

Unless you are going to start speaking and typing the Queen's English, S.T.F.U. I'll bet money that you've used "they" in a paper or report to refer to one person, which is unacceptable in English, even though it's common in the USA. I'm sure you've spelled "colour" without the u too.

3.2% of Trinidad has HIV. Since she's probably had sex with 1000 guys, she has a 3200% chance of having HIV. Is that how the probability works out??

Completely agree. The only thing I will say is that someone who is only capable of writing in "dialect" has a problem. Unless, of course, the person lives on the island and has no plans to ever leave it. Many people who speak and write in patois or ebonics are able to switch to standard English any time they want to. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing that. It's no more harmful than someone on AT writing "lol" "ftw" or any of the other hundreds of things that pass for language on this board.
