i wouldnt even generalize it like that... plenty of college educate ppl speak like that when they just shooting the breeze or in a chill setting...like some recognize they are speaking incorrectly but are just lazy...u gotta acknowledge them tooOriginally Posted by Patrick Bateman
Is it? Idiots and people who live in ghettos speak like that.. African American English?Originally Posted by jumpmankb
This is true though.

I can properly display how that can and is used COMMONLY.
Sister: What be wrong with Uncle Sean?
Mom: Nothing, he be tired from work.

I know people use Ebonics, but you're providing extreme examples.
Who the hell would say "What be wrong with uncle Sean?"
I could understand if you said, "Nothing, he tired from work," but no one uses be like that. Stop it.
If your family speaks like that, you should correct them.
I correct my mom all the time, jokingly of course.

It's very common to hear this mess when I'm around family...still love them.
I understand Ebonics is prevalent amongst AA and adolescents.
But "What I gon do now?" I can't imagine someone actually saying that.
If I ever heard this, I'd think someone was practicing for a slave monologue.
I heard this at 2 out of the last 3 funerals that I've attended.
Gave me a little chuckle between the tears.

I never denied that it is ignorant. Its completely ignorant, but only to the unknowing reader. Ebonics is apart of African American culture whether you like it or not. That is reality. Same way jamaican patois is broken english. If you think ebonics is bad, try figuring out a sentence in patois.
People say "What I gon do now" all the time. Its annoying as hell and very broken, however when I hear it, I know what they mean and I accept it. Accept the fact that ebonics is here to stay. I hear ebonics everyday in my community and to be honest there is nothing I will do about it.
I'd consider it so, it has it's own rules and structure.Originally Posted by an dee 51o
Is Hawaiian pidgin a real language?

Take a linguistics course. It's fascinating @!*#.
