Who is this targeted at?there's a lot of western african immigrants in the UK so probably themPersonally I just think it's pretty funny, but the argument I've seen is that it's another example of the bigotry of low expectations. Essentially implying that the targeted demographic needs articles written in pidgin because they just can't or aren't going to learn proper english.that's the thing though, if you've grown up knowing pidgin then learning standard english is just like learning another language; admittedly, it might be a bit easier than other languages since it's derived from english, but still. there are definitely a lot of pidgin sentences ive seen that are totally incomprehensible to me, and vice-versa for pidgin speakers with standard english most likelyso why stop at pidgin? why not just expect speakers of any other language to master english for online readingI don't care that the they want to give pidgin speakers a site that's easier for them to understand.I have to ask though, is there not a distinction between pidgin languages and proper languages? I mean pidgin is defined as a grammatically simplified combination of two languages as a result of the lack of understanding of one or both of those languages by two or more specific groups.While this isn't a huge deal to me, I do understand the argument that is made against it, and I can see how it creates less incentive to learn either language properly.these people are probably learning or already know standard english anyway, it's just nice to have content in the language you grew up with yknow it's just news articles, if they want to actually interact with greater british society beyond their small communities they're obviously gonna have to know at least some englishThe ember closed your hippie donkey this is a state of English bastardizationyou talk about english bastardization and yet i have NO fucking clue what the first half of this sentence is supposed to meanAnd now you see my point. I made a post, translated it into Zulu, then back to "English". Badabing, as they say.

You kind of know what you are getting into when with him. There is at least some ridiculous plot in most of his scenes.Like the one where he fucks a mannequin at his job and then gets fired.
