A Book about Jamaican abbreviations

I don't know where I got the idea from but I'm writing a book on Jamaican abbreviations. I will also throw in some Caribbean and international abbreviations. So far I have about three hundred abbreviations but I would like to get at least five hundred. I think it might be useful to schools as we tend to form a lot of agencies and use abbreviations when talking about them.

BUBBLE'S BABY-An Excerpt

Bubbles’ Baby by Austin Mitchell As I drove into Creighton on my way to Latore’s Ridge a young lady waved me down. When I stopped the car and she came up to it, I recognized her as ‘Bubbles’ Kenton, one of my former students. “Teacher, can I beg you a ride to Rennals?” “Sure, Bubbles, get in.” I opened the car door for her and she got in. She had a young baby with her, but I noticed that she didn’t have a bag, although the baby was wrapped in a towel. “Your first baby, Bubbles?” I asked as I drove off the car. “He’s Leta’s baby, teacher. I don’t have any children yet. She’s gone for an interview in Kingston so she begged me to keep him for her.” I used to teach both Bubbles and Leta at Mc Cauley High School in Oakley district.

Chapter Two June 16,2004-“Your former girlfriend will soon be returning home,” April said to Stewart. They were at his apartment in Morris Mews. Stewart jumped up out of his chair at April’s recent announcement. “What did you say?” he asked. “I can’t believe it. You must be joking or something.” “Morgana is returning home next month,”April repeated. “That’s news to me. The last I heard was that she had found some American guy over there and they were going steady,” he declared and sat back down in his chair. “I told you already to warn her off. You don’t belong to her again.” “Doesn’t she have a boyfriend now? I don’t see what you’re worried about. She isn’t coming back to me and I don’t want her back.” April went inside for some more fruit punch and refilled their glasses. “You know Stewart, my mother always warned me that I was wasting my time with you. I think Morgana’s return will prove her right or wrong.” “Miss Camille knows that I care about you. I don’t kno
