you have to say" sound a bit better than your room mates" because I did not post the "you are hot" or "she must have found a bigger ####" comments .

I am a well educated man and I would never in my life perform such rudeness acts .

If they are so bad then why not log out after you finish browsing on the site??? Your sn, your responsibility. This seems to not be an isolated incident

I was thinking the same thing about logging out when you're not using the site also.

It would save the embarrassment

Whomever it was that was on your computer and told kinzaza, "you are hot". BEHAVE YOURSELF!

It is sad trying to "hit" on someone in a "fiance(e) forum" which obviously means they are engaged to be married.

I could not help but notice this. I cannot recall any university or college worldwide offering courses in "U.S. urban slang language". Which is commonly known to most of us as "Ebonics". Is Harvard offering a course in Ebonics I do not know about? I never lived in the ghetto. Or should I say "The Hood" as it's referred. B)

I love ur little faces....they are hilarious

Speaking of Ebonics...I was actually trying to learn that when I was an exchange student in the state of Georgia I was in high school at the time and totally fascinated by the fact that a language can be THAT altered...lol....so i really tried...but the prononciation and just the words did not stick to me at all )))))) I guess i'm undereducated

You have got to be kidding?!! Ebonics was actually taught in a school? Be glad that so-called "language" didn't stick with you! Obviously, you're educated enough to know "Ebonics" is just a poor excuse to not speak English properly and the pronouciation to combine 1,2, or 3 English words together. There were people here who actually tried to persuade the US government to provide money to have this taught in the schools. Fortunately, it did not succeed! Thank God!

"Ebonics is a term coined, originally intended and sometimes used for the language of all people of African ancestry, or for that of Black north American and west African people, emphasizing the African roots of the former; since 1996 it has been largely used to refer to African American Vernacular English (distinctively nonstandard Black US English), emphasizing the independence of the latter from (standard) English." Wikipedia

Sorry to get all politically correct here, but since we could say this board is the epitome of multi-culturalism maybe we could be a little more sensitive.

Ebonics is not 'ghetto slang' it is a non-standard vernacular that has rules and structure just as standard english does. Those who have learned 'ebonics' or 'creole' as their primary language are not uneducated by virtue of the language they use. In fact there are entire countries where the creole is the national language. I would bet that by the time a Prime Minister (who grew up speaking a non-standard vernacular ie ebonics) was elected, he was pretty well educted and never lived in the ghetto. You don't have to be ghetto to speak the language of your family.

'Mofo' is up for debate as to whether that may just be 'ghetto slang' but please don't mix up peoples primary language with potty mouth.

Thanks

Thanks for the insight Sue. I learned something new today. I was not speaking about another country's native language. When I spoke of Ebonics, I was speaking about the poor annunciation of English words that are commonly heard in hip-hop songs. Black actors, such as, James Earl Jones were against the promotion of the laziness that the "Ebonics" presented here to be taught in US schools. He felt the same that it promoted laziness in learning our native language of English.

Clarification, people were not trying to teach children to speak ebonics in schools, they were seeking funding for programs that allowed students to learn content areas such as science or math while speaking in their local dialect without the added frustration of essentially learning standard english as a second language. The theory was that those students were lagging behind because all their instruction first had to be translated and that teachers spent too much time correcting their grammar and not the equations they should have been working on. Ebonics in public schools would have allowed local teachers to speak in a local dialect while teaching certain subjects and then to use Standard English during English class. This way children would not miss out on content but would also learn the standard english needed to succeed in the public world.

I see it a bit different than most because I did study about Ebonics in college. That was called linguistics class.

Cool!!! Nah we didnt have a class for that in high school. Since I was in Georgia, however, I lived in a black family (i already mentioned that somewhere) and I studied and was friends woth a bunch of black people. I loved to listen to it but I was not understanding anything ))) My host parents had such a kick out of it...I mean they spoke regular English but when i was coming to school trying to speak Ebonics they found it sort of...well....hilarious seeing a moldovan white girl (while in the process of learning basic english to begin with) pronouncing words with a black accent

I kinda know what it means though. While under the soviet union, Romanian language we spoke on the Moldovan territory got so mixed with russian ( mandatory back then) that right now we speak a very weird russified romanian. It's not thought in schools...but there is no way we can get rid of it
