Of all the conversations I recorded and transcribed during my time on Pirate Island, some of my favourites are practically useless for linguistic purposes, but still amusing snippets of day-to-day life. Like the following.
The context was that Edward, my host, was just finishing up a wood carving that was to be a gift to a nephew on his upcoming birthday.
Edward: "And after this one, I has another project."
Me: "Oh yeah? What is it?"
Edward: "Fixing Kori's door."
Me: "What's wrong with Kori's door?"
Edward: "He haven't got no door."

Ontological defects can be quite hard to fix. :-)
That would have made an awesome title to this post, Grace :)
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
