"I was in Nashville, Tennesee last year, after the show I went to a Waffle House, I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me, "Tch tch tch tch. Hey, what you readin' for?"
Is that like the weirdest ****ing question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading for. Well, godammit, you stumped me. Why do I read?
Well... hmmm... I guess I read for a lot of reasons, and the main one is so I don't end up being a ****ing waffle waitress."

That's what the word "dialect" was invented for.

Anyways, Ebonics is a dialect.

well, there are divisions of the term dialect. Since dialect itself means a variation of a language confined to a geographical area, Ebonics is not a 'dialect', per se, it is an 'ethnolect' because it's mostly spoken by blacks

...I see. You know we don't necessarily need new words if old ones apply well, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

It only causes confusion and menu problems...........Off with it already.

Jesus actually didn't speak English at all.

He lived 0AD - 32 AD in Galilee (trusting the bible)...

That he didn't speak English is one of the things I am so certain about because they are so likely that I say "I know" to them. Kinda like the moon being made of rock.

He could of traveled.

No..........to Europe. He could of, he's the son of god, he can do whatever he wants.

He wouldn't have found any English around.
