Please note:
The White Potato Cooperative informs all white potato farmers of a very important meeting to be held on Wednesday 17, January 2024, at the Fisheries complex in Roseau.
The meeting will be to discuss very important matters related to the planting season.
We ask all farmers to make an effort to attend this meeting and to be on time.
George Bush spelt potato as “potatoe” and the world laughed at him. so, I guess the world was wrong.
I believe you are referring to Dan Quayle, not George Bush.
It’s American English, there are many such. It’s their language, they manipulate it at will, grandpa said though it was probably Dan Quale. Just as they made many changes to “their” Bible, added themselves (Romans), their friends, Peter, Ham, Matthew, John etc. we need to make efforts to find and embrace ours. If you went blank at this point, no problem you not alone. Since you remember that quote you’re old enuff to have looked into your own languages such as Swahili or similar which has a script. English came to us at gun-point or sword.
