When I first moved to the US, I thought Pidgin was official english. So when i moved to the mainland I got screwed over in school and had to be put in ESL

P.S. And those who are not familiar with the Hawaiian culture wouldn't understand anyway.

WatGob, for someone who seems so highly intelligent, let me tell you something. Pidgin is part of the culture and it dates back to chinese immigrants in the 1800's who came to Hawai'i to work on plantations. The only way they could communicate was this broken English. Hawai'i was and still is a melting pot for ALL cultures. So before you start saying it's a corruption to English, know your facts. This is part of OUR culture, and has been for over a century. Get used to it.
