Agreed, Neil, great website. I especially enjoyed the maxim on your tee shirts, to wit: "You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning" Reminds me of The Wine Drinker's Credo-- "Enough is enough... and too much is just right"!  |

Come on Loren, you got the quotation WRONG  it is: :'You can't drink all day if you don't start in D morning' ahahha....Neil would get you for that. You see how much he emphasizes the 'D' all over the website and not to mention his signature? 'Another hum day on D island!' |

LOL, Loren, you have me here cracking up! Here in the islands there are varying types of dialects which are all unique to each island however i think most people from here in the Caribbean Islands when they are talking broken language they would replace 'THE' with 'D'. Neil is from St. Maarten so he would be a little different... I'm from Barbados....we would say 'de' instead of 'the" off course when talking dialect.

Yachtluver, I really do appreciate the diversity of language--especially the variations in English found in my 'backyard', the Bahamas. A long time ago, before GPS, the practical way to navigate the settlements of, say, the Abacos (in small shoal-draft boats), with which I am familiar, was to emulate the locals: Pull in close, spot somebody on the beach, and holler loudly, "What place 'dis be"?! |

Loren---'What place dis be' Bajan--- Wait, wah part we is? Neil--- 'Be careful no to mash up yer boat on D rocks' Bajan----- Watch it, doan hit yuh boat pun dey. If you have been to barbados you would hear the bajan dialect strongly even at the marina! |
