Ann J: They could teach patois although we have different ways of saying the same thing. English is really no different and for the fun of it I am giving an assignment:
The Assignment: Compose a sentence in English that means exactly the same as this one given by Ann J I was going around the corner/bend when ....such and such happened
Now lets see this at work people, so take it seriously and do the assignment. The difference you allude to Ann J is really in levels and not type. So there are three levels of Jamaican ( I dont like the use of patois at all- patois is a debased form of a language), the levels are basolect, mesolect and acrolect they are pretty much self descriptive. Mi bend da go rung di bend is basolect ; mi go rung di bend is mesolect; mi go round di bend is acrolect.
