And when will they stop misusing the terms?
Probably upon either death or some trauma-induced epiphany.
It won’t happen, again, you’re speaking Ebonics with them, doing so is intentional by them to set the conversation as impossible because you cannot have a comprehensive debate in Ebonics. The only way past this is to make them come to you and talk on your level, not theirs.
That doesn't make sense, and you just said you weren't trying to reach them anyway. I get that you're offended by me critiquing your original comment but you're really not being consistent here at all.
Reaching them is talking Ebonics. I have no interest in talking Ebonics. I have an interest in setting the conversation somewhere where rational discourse can be had. When you set a standard, is it to appease someone who doesn’t like the standard, or to do so irregardless of their stance?
