Rait Jamiekan Rait (Write Jamaican Right) is a brand associated with the Jamaican Language Company (JLC) as part of a collaboration with the Jamaican Language Unit (JLU) at the University of the West Indies, to promote the standard writing system for the Jamaican Language, the Cassidy-JLU system. Because it's all about promoting the standard Jamaican writing system, JLC and Patwa Apparel have teamed up to produce the first in a series of limited edition Rait Jamiekan Rait branded t-shirts. Each edition crafted to be a collector's item.

We introduce the Rait Jamiekan Rait (Write Jamaican Right) series with two proverbs in the Jamaican Language. The first, 'If yu kyaahn kech Kwako, yu kech im shot' - If you can't catch the truly guilty party, as represented in the proverb by Kwaku, (the Twi language name for a boy born on a Wednesday), you punish anything vaguely connected to him, as symbolized by his shirt.

The second is, 'Front a daag, Misa Daag, Bak a daag, daag' - A dog is Mr. Dog to his face, but behind his back, he is just plain "dog"', i.e. respect is often only given in ones presence, but not behind ones back. Look out for more from the Rait Jamiekan Rait T-shirt series. Likl mour (Little more), A Paul G. Slowley VIDEOGRAPHY & G.A.M.E. (Great Amazement Multimedia & Entertainment) Production Paul G.
