[edit] Foreign?

I can't really say that this is foreign, as I've heard it in modern speech and on the Internet. It's a common construct in Jamacian English, see A Little-Noticed English Construction: Subjectless Imperative Please to + Infinitive1 for details. It is actually grammatically correct. --71.8.8.21 11:08, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

But it is foreign to US English, the form that's standard on the site. Hence it's considered foreign for the purposes of our article. Heimstern Läufer 11:14, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
