Patois, Not English

When you see patois in Cassidy style, pronounce every letter you see.

Don’t apply English rules. It’s not English. There is no ‘e’ at the end of words making vowels long. Two like vowels beside each other, means you pronounce the short sound longer (like i and ii in wii). The long ‘i’ in English is pronounced ‘ai’ in Patois.
