The letter by D. Michael Britton of Brooklyn, New York, on May 22 sums up very well the bilingual situation of Jameikans and the respective roles for them of English and Jameikan (Patois). 
The one thing omitted, the most crucial from another perspective, is the failure of Jameika’s educators and authorities to make Jameikan the channel of early childhood learning. I am not here advancing a novel idea.
