Something I didn't know.... My older brother is majoring in linguistics in college and he told me 'bout somethin' called Ebonics which was something his professor was talkin' about and Ebonics is a way of speaking English that consists lots of slang, but since then people who study the English language have studied the way most blacks talk because blacks are the ones who mostly speak in Ebonics... and apparently they said that there's a certain system to Ebonics like any other language... and now it's been given the name African American English a.k.a Black English and is now considered another dialect of English... pretty cool eh? (but you guys don't let me talk that way anymore lol)

I don't mind if you talk that way, it's just hard to understand sometimes.
