      Doesn’t it take more effort to write in this manner than writing properly. I understand that you may be trying to duplicate the way we spoke in Guyana, but that was the way we spoke, not wrote. To my knowledge, we wrote proper English that could easily be understood. I must say that it took me longer to read your comment than to read the entire article.
