I think it's quite unfortunate that we would ever have to speak 'ebonicallly' if that is not how we usually speak. I too am a professional and carry myself in that way. However, some of my clients are ghetto to the fullest. They will call my manager sometimes and ask to work with someone else who can understand them better... So, I can't understand you because I use proper English? You'd rather speak to someone who curses when they speak and doesn't enunciate clearly? If I was really pressed to keep those clients, I'm sure I could throw some slang into my conversations, but it's just not that serious to me. Our people...
