Thanks @Amigos4. Typo corrected @5jj.

Pidgin seems an apt description to me. It makes no sense in standard English. Why dey vex? = why are they vexed? Why you dey vex? = why do you vex them?

You might use "homies" as a plural of homey, but that word is largely confined to black Americans. In mainstream English I think @Barque is right: the demonym of the specific town is the best you can do.

I've never heard or seen it used. Why not just say something like "press the spacebar while holding down the ALT key"?

Is a title is even intended to reflect the movie's content? I suggest that titles are chosen with nothing more than marketing in mind. By the way FMJ reveived critical acclaim and was praised for realism. But in my opinion a far more realistic treatment of the same subject was provided by a...

Hello @andyasker and welcome to the forum. "Devoid" is usually an adjective, but according to dictionary.com it is also used as a verb with the meaning you intend. See: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/devoid Please note that I have moved your question to the Ask A Teacher section.

@the batman learner I have edited your post to replace "kinda" with "kind of". We are an English language site so we use only standard English. Chatlish terms like “kinda“ are not to be used in our forum.

When I went to primary school it was called penmanship. They were talking about just learning to form the letters. That was in the late cretacious era so things may be different today. In high school we had to write essays and that was called English composition.

No. You tacked a second "of" onto the end.

Please remember to use correct capitalization and punctuation @tedmc. I have edited your post above this time. In my part of the world such structures are often called cloisters.

Perhaps wild-camping is a term used in BrE. Here in Canada we just call it camping whether it's done in the wilderness or in an organized campground with facilities such as electricity and water. P.S. Thank you @guey. I have corrected the thread title.

Hello @shuko and welcome to the forum. Please note that I have edited your thread title. As we are an English language site we use only correct English here. Abbreviations like sth for something and other chatlish terms are not used here. As to your question I can see no difference between...
