Pidgin is a chat client. I used to use it for MSN between the time when they were trying to shuffle everyone over to Skype and when they totally pulled the life support on the Messenger network.

Also, please tell me I wasn't the only one reading that article in Tia Dalma's voice.

Is this going to be one of those times when you pretend not to have a plan until the last moment? And then turn out to really not have one?

Except it literally does, though. Because pidgin is an actual word with a definition, and Pidgin is the name of a program.

except it literally does not though

you use context to differentiate the two.

if someone was talking about pidgin in a topic about funny ass words, it would not matter if they typed it pidgin, Pidgin, PIDGIN, ect. i would know from context that they're talking about pidgin language.

if someone mentioned pidgin in a topic about messengers, then context lets me know they aren't talking about a language.

capitalization does not matter, context does.

On the one hand, this is pretty funny. On the other hand, it's great that they're offering news to people in more languages.

But yeah, mostly the piss and poopoo thing was great.

"Instead make di thing land for garden, di poo-poo come jam between two windows wey no dey open wide."

There's a Jamaican woman who does the interim info on a national station here, I heard her voice.
