This may sound weird, but one of my friends has been trying for the longest time to speak less "urban" and more proper (or as some may say: "talk less black").
There are only two things that bother me about his speech, though. Otherwise, it's fine.
First off, he likes to add "me" in randomly.
ex. "I'm going to get me a new shirt."
Also, he says "mines" instead of "mine." I don't blame him, though, because when I lived in the same area as him when I was younger, I was never taught that "mines" was not a word either.
