It should be spelled Jo but with the note that the O is O as in Ox not O as in Note.<br /><br />Linguistically, that O is a completely different O from the one you're using. Jo is a Yoruba word and grammatically correct Yoruba words do not end in R, irrespective of however various people spell those words.Sugabellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943638849867603413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974542078095227727.post-23253114366964917132010-09-30T03:54:47.934-07:002010-09-30T03:54:47.934-07:00I just discovered this site and I am TRULY being s...I just discovered this site and I am TRULY being schooled I never heard of this word before!!!Nollywoodhttp://nollywoodforever.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974542078095227727.post-30223503826541805552010-09-06T03:33:15.553-07:002010-09-06T03:33:15.553-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.James Ikukuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13059548891738385742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974542078095227727.post-44893309123265938832010-09-06T02:52:42.113-07:002010-09-06T02:52:42.113-07:00Thank you.

It is usually drawn out for emphasis.<br />To answer your other question, I believe 'dey' is more correct. However, the beauty of pidgin english is that there are really no rules in grammar or spelling.

Are you sure there's the extra or at the end. Surely leave me jo makes more sense than leave me joor. Also, how do you spell dey as in Wetin dey? I use de and dey interchangeably.
