hehehe, that “goodnight” story was funny. Reminds me of the confusion i used to have with the New England wave, a hand gesture which was exactly the same as the summoning gesture we had in kenya. The number of times i hurriedly went over only to be told that it was a wave hello!

That ‘Goodnight’ story was really funny. Reminds me of how the English language varies by location esp. African english and American english. I realized that alot of things we used to say back home are directly translated from the plethra of other languages we speak not to mention some of words we used that are not used in America eg. boot (hood), lift (elevator) and rubber (eraser). Try asking someone for a rubber hukus and see the looks you get :):)

One time I was talking to a workmate and she told me about some loss she experienced. So being sympathetic, I am like, “Oh sorry!” and she was like “What for?”
Yeah…ati kumbe “Pole” does not work in the same way in American English.

I hope you are collecting material for a book. Is it not nice to go to a new place and explore it, learn it and mix with the “natives”?

Have you picked up creole yet?
