Completely tangential, but why are the 's' at the end of words starting to get cut out "She start talking ot you like she work for HR" should be "she starts talking to you like she works for HR"
its not like it saves you time, and it just sounds awkward and clunky to say.
It's afro American sociolect.
Yup. Sounding educated and well spoken will get you mercilessly bullied in a lot of placing in the US. Here in Florida we call it “crabs in a bucket” because if one starts climbing up the others will pull it back down.
Much of Appalachia is the same. If you don't talk like a redneck, you get picked on. The smart kids with social savvy will learn to code switch.
So we’re still looking to survive bullies rather than holding them responsible for bad behaviour I see. That’s toxic.
Nah, fuck off with your strawman. I was just describing the reality, not suggesting that it is any kind of solution. Holding them accountable would be great, but kids often don't have that option.
No you are not offering a solution, you’re just doubling down on making more problems. And then calling it ‘that’s life’. You are toxic.
How many people who've bullied have you successfully held accountable?
Several and many I just dropped from my life who refuse to own their actions. Cuz sometimes winning the game is not playing it. Stop being a doormat. Stop encouraging others to be a doormat. Stop treating others like doormats. Stop the doormat life.
That’s an explanation about the behavior to bully and harass. not an excuse.
It's African American Vernacular English. Calling it "uneducated and improper" can and will be perceived as racist as it's a legitimate dialect of the English language.
"African American Vernacular English" sounds like an awfully racist term for it.
...why? The term AAVE has been widely used for a while, including by Black Americans.
Because most people that use it aren't African and many aren't American.
And using three periods instead of one comma
They just use the infinitive, like for example in "I swear she be doing that" (instead of "I swear she is doing that"). Thats just a dialect some people have.
If you still got the point of the post does the language matter if it doesn’t sound exactly the way you speak?
Yes it is a tangent and it wasn’t appropriate to derail.
It’s really not as kind as a person thinks they are being when no one asked them to correct their grammar. It doesn’t show respect to the topic or the person speaking. Something about not letting perfection prevent progress. And honestly it wasn’t hard to understand what the OP was saying so even going the ‘hard to understand’ excuse wouldn’t fit for a grammar troll to stretch their legs out on here.
Does it not get exhausting to constantly get butthurt over the most trivial bullshit you read online?
