"A Wordy But True Tale"

During Jeanne's visit to Buhugu some months back, she and Simon could often be seen at the library together. They connected over their love for literature and out of that came a story that was recently published in a magazine in South Africa (where Jeanne is based).

"Before I traveled to Uganda at the beginning of this winter (in south-eastern Uganda the end of the first of two annual rainy seasons) I did not suspect that there was anything as established as Ugandan English. That people speaking English in Uganda erred in definable ways, along marked pathways. Did not err, in fact. Ugandan English was something that Ugandans spoke well."

So the story begins. We have shared a version of the story here.
