      You want to see real pidgin go to a church service in the island of Vanuatu and try reading the bible or hymn books. It's real hard to follow. The BBC version is a real easy to read. Modern day SMS speak is way harder to read. The way English is going pidgin is starting to look normal.

        OTOH, I was expecting a Google Translate link and it seems BBC actually did this themselves.
