My bad anglish aint so bad at all.


"Aint nobody out to Sheila's!"

Bad grammar?

Aint
There is no

nobody
person

out to

away from home and at

Sheila's
Sheila's place

Is "Ebonics" improper English" ?
Or is it a customized version created by American Blacks?

Some argue that there is nothing wrong with the dialect spoken by America's Blacks and that conformity to the norm is done out of self hate.

Others see it as a deficient form of English and state that if a language is worth speaking, it should be spoken "correctly".

Yet what does "speaking English correctly" really denote? Is grammar incorrect when the meaning of a statement is quite easy to infer?

Should we be held to corporate/scholastic America's standards or should they relax theirs and embrace what can be properly be called a dialect?

Whatever the case may be ChallyWally, a brotha gone speak it like it T-I-IZ!

Your thoughts?
