[Rebecca]

Contrary to popular belief, ‘Ebonics’ (an alternate term is African American Vernacular English, or AAVE)is not poor English. It is actually a dialect of Standard American English, and makes use of mostly English words with some anglicisms of African words. It uses grammar rules which are common in African languages (such as the rules governing the conjugation of the verb ‘to be’) and that’s why it sounds like poor grammar to Standard English speakers. AAVE is a legitimate dialect and deserves a status which reflects that.
