Since there is no real and recognized language called "ebonics' what are you and other people who are not of African descent trying to learn? Broken english?
I'm not trying to pick on you, I'm just trying to understand what you mean that people are trying to learn "ebonics". There is no such thing as "ebonics", that word exist only in a prism where the words "generation x" or "Reaganomics" mean something.
MidwestDiva,
I agree with you on a lot of issues (maybe it has something to do with the Midwest connection, but I can't say that I agree with the idea that people write the way they speak.
I have been known to go "scraight to da ghetto" at times with my vocabulary. However, I am a very eloquent speaker and writer when the need presents itself.
I think that sometimes, people are trying to make a point or a joke. Like when people write LAWD HA' MURCY!!!! Maybe the people who can't understand, aren't supposed to be included in the joke .
Just a thought, Miss. Mocha
