Xtend 07-07-08, - 12:13 AM I must say that when some of the members here write in strong Bahamian dialect, I dont bother to read it half the time. Its just rather difficult to understand, and this is coming from someone that is born and bred Bahamian.

Exactly! There are no formal rules of grammar when it comes to writing in Bahamian dialect. As a result there is no clarity in what is being said, and one can only interpret correctly or not.

Aaah your inner Bahamian has arrived:)

Well, I have been called some things in my time but have never before in my history been referred to as the former Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. I am uncertain as to whether or not that is a complimentary or derogatory statement and will have to take it under further consideration.
