As is expected, there are many persons who favour such an undertaking while, judging from the response in the media, an ever larger group of persons are against it.

Those who are for it speak to Patois, or the Jamaican Creole, being our second language and that, as such, it should be given due recognition. They argue that the project is one way of ensuring this. Some linguists even claim that, like other lanuages, Patois has its own grammatical structure and form.

The persons who are against this venture see it as a 'slap in the face' of anything holy and sacred that the Bible stands for. Some regard it as a big joke, as such a Bible would only evoke belly-bottomed, side-splitting laughter. They argue that people would not take God's business seriously. Furthermore, they add that the language is difficult to read, and that, in any case, English is the language in which our exams are written. They argue that English is the language we use to communicate with others globally.
