And yet, and yet...
It is a trend worth resisting.
We can be leaders in setting -- and insisting upon --
good examples of the written and spoken word. Or,
we can let it slide and follow the language down
the tubes, defending every abberation as we defend
every opinion, as being equally valid and valuable.
And when it's all swept away, only the cockroaches
will remain.... speaking and writing Ebonics.
