Ebonics. I fucking hate ebonics, whether you're colored and living in Harlem or white and living in Vermont, I don't really care. I hate ebonics as a whole. I see it as a mockery to the English language. I'm not too fond of the rhyming slang used by the East London folks either.
I agree with you on ebonics. Nothing I have ever heard sounds more uneducated and rediculous than ebonics. I have no problem deciphering ebonics, but that is not the issue. I about had a stroke when it was being demanded that ebonics be recognized as an official dialect. I went flatline when it passed that it IS recognized as a dialect now. That only opens the door for all kinds of problems, like Umbakka getting pissed off that you don't want him to speak his dialect on the phone to your customers and claiming that its his right to as its his 'heritage'. Then causes a stink about the white devil man oppressing him in the workplace, despite getting his job over several other people more qualified b/c uncle sam breathes heavy down the backs of corporations and now even small businesses to have 'diveristy' in the work force.
Political correctness is a load off natural ass creme that is getting smeared on us all drenching everything and everyone with the rancid funk of big liberal brother.
Ok, for words that I hate, shit like 'bling bling' and 'teh', using shit like 'ur' for your/you're, '4' in place of 'for' and the list goes one.
People, especially young, now almost refuse to spell and speak properly, and while you don't need to try and sound like someone who purposely tries to sound sophisticated, not using shit like 'ur' goes a lightyear in convincing people you have a brain. Typos and genuine mispronouciations are one thing, purposely trying to be 'kewl' or 'saving time by using things like ur and 4' while typing is just lame. Sure, it just robs everyone of so much time to spell a correct word than to use 'ur', I mean christ, congress should spend money and pass laws. Time theft due to long words is criminal.
Besides, 'ur' isn't even fucking close phonetically to either 'your' or 'you're', you'd need to use 'yor'. ur is fucking short for 'yer'......goddamn hillbillies.
