    You may want to mention the various indigenous populations that had English beat into them, and their native tongues beat out of them.

    Exactly...jamaica has patoix which is basically English mixed with whatever the slaves spoke in jamaica.

    they have funny words like "bumba clot"
    Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!

    In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.
