Anymouse,

You and I aren't going to agree on this. I don't actually mind people trying to struggle to speak a language...or write a language.

Pidgin English is something I have been introduced to and I will be honest...I've been to almost 50 countries and been exposed to plenty of dialects. I've been to every continent but Antarctia...charming local dialect here doesn't ring true in my ears.

I am really not that old...trust me I don't have any grey hair and it didn't get that way because I dye it. So that isn't a valid argument to use against me either.

I recognize text speak...I saw it I recognized it...I felt it was unacceptable.

The question is why do you feel so desperate to accept rude writing? Why do you need to defend it? What stake do you have in approving of her so called 'pidgin' English?

Sociologicaly speaking...you are not doing her or anyone else any favors by accepting inappropriate communications no matter how 'colorful' you might feel they are.

Thank you Belle. I was gong to ask the same questions. This forum use to be full of interesting questions and debates (OK, fights) about dancing. Now it has been reduced to partner requests with no info as to where the person lives or anything. It is beyond boring. Often, I think these requests are fishing expeditions by young women with no dancing experience who happened to come across this site once, never to return. Same with the requests for music. Do any of these people actually read the responses? A simple thank you would be nice every once in awhile. Usually, I ignore most posts but this one was particularly galling and incredibly ignorant.

People are going to speak the language they speak every day in the way they speak it regardless if you or I approve or not.

"Sociologicaly speaking...you are not doing her or anyone else any favors by accepting inappropriate communications no matter how 'colorful' you might feel they are."

I do not have any problem with someone communicating with someone with whom they share a dialect using that dialect.

Perhaps the difference between you and I is that I recognize that neither of us were amongst the intended audience of that message.

By the way, you are right I should have looked up Motswana as well before I commented on it.
