Some people get all political and hung up about so-called Ebonics (a non-linguistic term used for political discussions in some school districs in the US), aka Black Vernacular English (BVE), aka African American Vernacular English (AAVE). Whatever.

The more I learn about other languages, the more I've come to think that English is a sort of creole which has spread so far and to so many people as to be called a "language" now. It didn't even have any consistent spelling or usage put down in a dictionary until just a few hundred years ago. It is the result of three or four linguistic collisions over the centuries.
