My Appologies To You If You Only Speak English

POLL: English, French, or Haitian Creole - Which Language Do You Speak, Read, And Understand Fluently?
How Are You Feeling Today?
How Are You Feeling Today?

I sometimes get carried away in my writing and I dump a lot of Haitian Creole in it, forgetting that many of you reading my newsletter have no clue what I am saying.

I am begining to feel that most of the subscribers of the Haitian Internet Newsletter are English speakers.

My apologies...

I will do my best to fix that...

You're right, even for the Non-English speakers...

Since my web sites are designed to translate from English, writing in English will make for a better translation.

OK... Fine! No more Cre-Glish... OK?
I will keep it to a minimum!

Sometimes I receive emails asking me to write in French (Je ne peux pas, that's for sure! LOL) - That means I cannot

My English speakers are getting upset because they want to understand everything I am saying.

Silly as I am... I write the way I think...

But I am not writing for me, I understand that now, I am writing for you.

So from now on, I will do my best to write IN ENGLISH... and if you only speak French or Haitian Creole, you're gonna have to deal with Google's translation (Top of the page).

After all, I am here to inform you, with a sense of humor... Hope you don't mind... but I also want to make sure you understand what I am saying.

So now... Let me ask you this question:

Which language Do you speak, read, and understand more fluently?

English? French? or Haitian Creole?
