I knew it wasn't spelled exactly like the bird lol. But yeah I used that shit for years. I don't really have a use for it anymore or I'd probably still be using it
I used it all the way up until Google broke compatibility with it, then continued using it with a third party plug-in until that stopped being maintained.
Now I prefer Signal over Chat.
"A pidgin /ˈpɪdʒɪn/, or pidgin language, is a grammatically simplified means of communication that develops between two or more groups of people that do not have a language in common: typically, its vocabulary and grammar are limited and often drawn from several languages."
Oh that's cool. I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!
Always thought it was a great name choice.
