Hi Kenchar,

It's spelt the same way as the bird.

"Pigeon English [perhaps a corruption of business English], an extraordinary and grotesque dialect, employed in the commercial cities of China, as the medium of communication between foreign merchants and the Chinese. Its base is English, with a mixture of Portuguese and Hindoostanee." --Johnson's Cyc

Don't even ask me where that last language comes from! Best of luck with your system Kenchar, and don't worry too much about having a bad day -- you weren't on your lonesome in that regard on Saturday.
