Thank everyone. The reason I was asking was because I had never seen it before and I wondered if writing this was was the norm. Yesterday someone wrote a message in the general forum, and I didn't understand--or found hard to follow at least, and I am just assuming it was writen in ebonics. I just thought, they wrote this message, where (if there are other people like me) only some of the people that read it can understand, and the rest just have to 'blindly' follow.
I'm sorry if I offended you Miss. Mocha, that was not my intention. Like I said before, you can just consider me ignorant on the subject. I just had a genuine intrest to know the origins and/or why people speak/write in ebonics. Another reason I wondered this was because, as I'm sure you all know, some people that AREN'T African-American decent really make an effort to learn and speak ebonics. I was just wondering if there was some reason I didn't know about. But really, I didn't mean to be disrespectful, so please accept my appology if I did offend you.
