Pidgin English

Post by Das Troll » Tue Jun 08, 2021 2:27 am

What the fuck? The brits actually change their news site to something called pidgin English. I can only assume because they can't be fucked to learn proper English when they move to a English speaking country.

Huh, never knew they had a pidgin version of their site. You'd think reading actual English would help them (learning it) but I guess BBC cares more about making the news accessible to ppl?

Which is actually commendable. My boss was saying today he's about to pay for some Fox News thing where they give you extra News, like, why the fuck are people paying for NEWS?!

What happens if you witness a news event being covered on a private subscription service? Do you get sued for stealing the news??
