its a good day to rant,
ok, lets rant!
The Department of Justice is seeking to hire linguists fluent in Ebonics to help monitor, translate, and transcribe the secretly recorded conversations of subjects of narcotics investigations, according to federal records.
Ebonics has widely been described as a nonstandard variant of English spoken largely by African Americans. John R. Rickford, a Stanford University professor of linguistics, has described it as “Black English” and noted that “Ebonics pronunciation includes features like the omission of the final consonant in words like ‘past’ (pas’ ) and ‘hand’ (han’), the pronunciation of the th in ‘bath’ as t (bat) or f (baf), and the pronunciation of the vowel in words like ‘my’ and ‘ride’ as a long ah (mah, rahd).”
REALLY? realllly !?
im in shock.
ish.
how do you butcher the English language so much, that its beginning to be considered a new language? what is this?? This behooves me, to a point of no return.And you know what else? its quite racist too haha, because i know, well have heard, many white people talk like that too! you see, they also referred to it as "Black English", what it should be referred to is " Retarded American". I heard this was only in Atlanta, but im not too sure,it might spread.
Universe, why do you let this happen?
what is wrong with you.
Theres a link for ya!
