      You know what’s funny bolt wasn’t good either when it comes to speaking his grammar wasn’t always on point and one of the things I didn’t like about bolt is that he always tried to speak with a American accent 2008 to 2012 now he speaks normal you can speak standard English without trying to put on another nationality accent Shelly also thou she never put on a accent she wasn’t the best when it came to doing interviews but she have gotten way better for me I think Elain is just nervous when speaking… js

    As someone who is from the same community of Banana Ground and one who knows Elaine’s parents and grand parents very well I take these negative comments very personal Elaine grew up in a community where there is no playing field and attended a primary school where there was no playing field. Against tremendous odds she is now the fastest woman alive. These snobbish Jamaicans need to shut up.

    I feel you my brother,I am in Kenya & we have the same rubbish about our runners who win races and can't talk good English. Recently the Kenyan winner of the Boston marathon asked for a translator and he did the interview in Swahili. English is the colonisers/slave master's language,it doesn't matter whether Elaine does an interview in whatever lingo she feels like using,she can even sing for crying sake. Let her leg's continue to do the talking,she is special and she is capable of breaking Flo Jo's 100 meter record _ I bet this is the year. So in my opinion the grammar police can co jump into a lake. Shame on you.

I'm not saying anything is wrong with Shelly Ann but I don't think it's farfetched to say that many Jamaicans genuinely shower more love on her than any other female athlete and as was said they even cheer for her over our other Jamaicans. I remember seeing persons genuinely upset that Shelly didn't win the 100m and 200m and I'm here thinking "you do know that we won right?".

    Moral of the story, Shelly has a great career and so does Elaine. Why can't we love them both? Each has something that resonates with different people therefore who prefers one may not like the other the same. At the end of the day whether Shelly wins or Elaine, Jamaica wins. Give Elaine a chance to enjoy being the fastest woman alive and stop bashing her for something trivial to her future successes. Speaking gets better with exposure and experience.

    Jamaicans cant please! "Them say VCB twang too much! Bolt hype & hardly groom his hair! Them say the twins & Elaine dunce! Them say Shelly slow because she came 2nd! Them say the ladies wear too much false hair! Ironically they class the Twins say them hair never comb yet!"
    When it's not One its the other! Athletes are learning to run for themselves because "WE" cannot be pleased with Nothing At All. We are the problem not the athletes. If Bolt & Asafa never have sense "Fans" would turn them into the biggest enemies. Same with the kids Tina vs Lyston. Same with the women Shelly vs Elaine. fans the root of all evil!🙄

The 1-2-3 finish of the Jamaican women at the last Olympics was astounding and I admire both Elaine and Shelly-Ann enormously. I have to admit that I don't understand this controversy. My American ears are not familiar enough with the way Jamaican's speak English to see any problem with the way Elaine expresses herself. She seems just fine to me in interviews. Can someone explain this to an American? LOL, but I'm seriously asking.

    One thing I want to say from my knowledge is 1. Our native tongue is patois 2. Patois does not take grammar into serious consideration as does the English language... Jamaicans need to understand this and stop criticizing people if they don't speak Queens English. We don't appreciate our Native tongue and that's why they it is ruled out as a language. This is serious. I have been a victim myself and I have to educate some people. Anyway, we could go on and on... Big up Maverick . I listen the Big Bad Show everyday....

      If you are going to tell me what I said is not true, then it's obvious that you are just one of those haters we are talking about.
      Elaine does not speak the English language well, however, has she ever spoken out of term? Has she ever embarrassed herself or Jamaica by saying the wrong thing? If your answer is no, I rest my case, however, if you're answer is yes, then it's obvious that you are just one of that many crabs in that barrel trying to prevent someone else from getting out, just because you can't.

    When a microphone is placed at your mouth, I personally like to hear good grammar, but not necessarily fancy vocabulary.

She competes against the clock and other sprinters, and so far she is the best in the world at what she is doing.

WE are playing DUMB to the core issue of SELF HATE. I speak the Queens English and use it in Business setting. However I do use my dialect as everyone but Jamaicans LOVE IT(especially the Rich and Powerful Women who come to sit with me and be counseled.back to reality). The World is screaming for AUTHENTICITY and we are here stuck in damn darkness. What have they done to us as Jamaicans?
      Where are these so called Jamaicans from who lack any form of race pride where they teach their HISTORY to their youths so that we can be more confident. If only we knew the TRAUMA and ATROCITIES committed to get us away from our language and culture? waaaaay too much Ignorance a gwaan, but of course I love the WAR for the MIND
      I was set aside for this and will gladly assist the Lord in making sure our youths Heal through knowledge of Self
      Tired of these Boasy Slave clowns who ran our great country to a wreck because they didn't appreciate what they had. Tired of it and a head rolling time now, straight!
      Its beyond Humiliating and Demeaning to see these Wicked People sitting on our Sacred Knowledge and sharing it with their children while ours lacking that knowledge of self are busy killing each other and turning to prostitutes(who loves and cares for our young women?).
