Today I get asked if people speak English well in Trinidad???
People really that ignorant???? It good thing I not really Trini or it would be one cuss for she - but not to worry I did but her straight for all of you and informed her that English is your mother tongue.

steups...people jus ignorant in dis place...dey cyah help it. Yuh should tell her no, we only speak jumbie language, especially around carnival time....
jackass hehehehehe
sorry..it could be a "he" too...
I could only imagine though if were Trini and this was being asked to me - I remember in earlier bloggs some of the questions you guys were getting, crazy I tell u.
so if we speak english why wouldn't we speak it well?? man I suppose is better to set them straight so they know better next time.
Today I had if Trinidadian is a word... a team were having a discussion about me for some reason the last string of the conversation is if that is a word and someone came to get me to confirm...?!?!?!?? It was all in good light though.
Yeah chile...I get that one before too. Jus chalk it up to ignorance.
Well, I was playing a friend some soca once & she asked "what language is that?"
Bwwaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
buublenut....
If I had a dollar for every time some dumbass asked me dat same chupid question!! Or, better yet -"What do you call the language you speak in Trinidad?" (I reply "English" - the stupid look on their faces after that is priceless!!)
"Do you speak Trinidadianese?" Yes, TRINIDADIANESE!!!
Then, when I explain to them that it's just an accent, they tell me that the accent is an INDICATOR of my speaking a different language. Like Americans doh have accents! Steuuuuups!!
Oh, and let's not forget my favorite "You speak English so well!!!"
Well, thanks! I've only been speaking it my ENTIRE LIFE!! Dumbass!
