I too am a work in progress (Aren't we all?) and welcome corrections of my mistakes. While I love and often use Caribbean dialect, I have noticed in the course of tutoring many students from several countries that language skills are not up to standard, not only among young people but also in the adult population. I'm gratified to see that even posters who respond negatively to my corrections are not making the same mistakes any more.

"Lepoard" is obviously a typo. I overlook the numerous obvious typos and do not correct dialect. Perhaps with such keen observation, you will soon be able to distinguish a tiger from a leopard.
