In Jamaica we were educated in the Queen’s English, so overcoming my discomfort with American spelling and punctuation has been a challenge. Yet, it was a challenge worth overcoming… to the extent that I’ve overcome. The priority was to get a very good message out there, so my conclusion in Jamaican Creole went something like this: “If yu wa’an good, yu nose haffi run!” Now, that’s nowhere near the Queen’s English!
