HEATHER: Maybe I agree
to a point with Anne. Perhaps a typical Jamaican when angry as we say
it 'brok out' into Patois. However based on how I was raised in my family
we were just not allowed to speak Patois and it was only in my adulthood,
really after I met my husband, that this Patois thing became a bit cool
[laughter] and not just cool but a conscious Jamaican, enlightening thing
to do to celebrate an apsect of our culture by speaking Jamaican so I
don't naturally tend to speak Patois when I'm angry, I would do it more
so for the fun of it for the humour of certain Patois expressions and
perhaps deliberately use it err say with my children or with my husband
to emphasise a certain point. But it would take a little bit of thought
on my part, it's certainly not my natural use of English but I choose
to use it when appropriate.
