One more thing I forgot to add... The example was funny, even
though it was a joke, right? What would you think if such a

made it ridiculous, not because it was written in a funny way
using the Ebonics dialect.
It's much like the story of The Emperor's New Clothes. You can
pretend all you want, but some things really AREN'T what you
insist that they are...
