What the hell? Who is this targeted at?
there's a lot of western african immigrants in the UK so probably them
Personally 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 likely
so why stop at pidgin? why not just expect speakers of any other language to master english for online reading
I 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 english
The ember closed your hippie donkey this is a state of English bastardization
you talk about english bastardization and yet i have NO fucking clue what the first half of this sentence is supposed to mean
And now you see my point. I made a post, translated it into Zulu, then back to "English".
Badabing, as they say.
the only thing you proved is that you translated something from english to zulu then back to english
