I don't disparage any country for their colloquialism or accent. This forms part of national identity and uniqueness even if we speak the same language

At some point we likely have been amused by someone else's accent inferring that our own is the standard.

It is known that in Trinidadian dialect the penchant is to give the 'th' simply the 't' sound while in my island we give it the 'f' sound. Herein lies the beauty.

DG is scholarly and well exposed so no doubt it 's a matter of pride to him . I was just highlighting that our difference may at times be funny to each other

Sounds a whole lot better than Mickey Holding and the "Miggle" stump.

So just sekkle man, sekkle.

I am hearing Carlos Brathwaite repeatedly say 'sacond' for second...but all other words with standard pronunciation.

I’ve been living outside of Yard longer than you’ve been alive and I’m still proud of my TICK Yardie accent…emancipate yourself from mental slavery…communication is about understanding…as long as Gangas audience can understand what he’s saying he’s good…

There we go again with your type.

You must be devoid of understanding

Drapsey's comment I am sure impressed you

It may well be one of his quirks as far as speaking is concerned. Believe it or not many of us do have them

Carlos is qute articulate and smart.

I am pretty impressed with his cricket analysis

that is not an excuse for green verbs, less so when you're as educated as Ganga and especially when you are broadcasting for an international audience.

You highlighted it to cause disparagement you are not the only one who wants to have a laugh at anything Trinidad,there was no reason for it,we all understood what he said. but you and others can carry on, you all don't bother us we bother you.
