You know, a lot of the English-based creoles look alike, so when
I actually quote something, I quote the name of the language used
on my sources.  The book I happen to have is called "A Grammar
of Melanesian Pidgin English".  This may just be the old name; it
and Tok Pisin may actually be one and the same language.  But,
I've never been sure, so I just wanted to cover my bases.  :)
