Should Ebonics be classified a language like French and Italian?

    Ebonics is not a language. It's just slang. It's not something to legitimize because people that use it all the time are developing a bad habit in continuing to use expressions that should have died off in high school. A lot of people use it in high school because they think it's cool, "gucci", "swag" or whatever. The problem is when you forget the correct way to speak - either because you don't have friends and family to remind you of "reality" or because you haven't engaged yourself in a professional manner enough times to extinguish bad habits.

    Face it, your point is far-fetched, ridiculous to most, and no one agrees with it!

    End of story.

    You are missing the point that it will not work.

    Classifying it as a language is completely pointless, because a teacher can just as easily control a real language as they can a fake one. It's language! It's not something easy to control in the first place.

    Sheesh! Thickheaded than a mug, huh?

    Ebonics is something you grow out of when you leave high school. It's just a part of the culture of youth. Every generation of high school students coins its own flavor. When you leave high school and start interacting with adults and professionals, you outgrow it. It's no big deal...

    If I am a thickhead, does that make you an ugly- redhead??

    Wow. I actually meant to type "hardheaded" but regardless, now you're just being childish.

    And no, I'm not ugly nor am I a redhead. Wrong yet again.

    If only it were *that* easy, m8.....


    There *are* some segments of the population that *refuse* to jettison said vernacular....even well into their adult years...


    ...just for the sake of keeping it "real"..


    Sad, but true.
