Re: [MBZ] CL idiot of the day

[andrew strasfogel]

When we first began to purchase used Mercedes in northern VA and then
suburban MD, it seemed like 90 percent of the sellers were Iranians.  I
have a pretty good ear for their pronunciation and syntax, and this CL post
sounds like a literal spelling of Iranian-pronounced English.  What might
have happened is the guy wasn't fluent or confident in his written English
so he used Dragon naturally speaking (?) or similar software to generate
the text. I pass no judgment on his educational level as a lot of Iranians
were displaced professionals who emigrated to the US to escape the Khomeini
regine.

Further evidence the Department of Education has been enhanced with
government billions and teachers unions, while the ACLU has ensured that no
child was left in class at advancement time regardless of course work or
class standing.

Spelling is now an elective class, with Ebonics being one of the accepted
word forms.

If they could allow diversity, we might not have this shoved down our

american english, some speak spanglish, some speak ebonics.  Diversity

Re: [MBZ] CL idiot of the day

[Rich Thomas]

I think ebonics is actually derived from Gullah, which was slave 
english (actually a hodgepodge of various languages/pronunciations, 
including African and European).  Most of my neighbors are Gullah, and 
speak Gullah, which sounds a lot like Jamaican English when they get 
going, but also seems to be the root of the ebonics that is prevalent 
all over the country.  I'm guessing it all started with the slaves here, 
who were the first to be brought to the US, from Barbados initially then 
Africa directly, and sorta spread with subsequent arrivees and the 
diaspora.  I am told it sorta developed as a general language everyone 
could communicate in using various bits of their own original languages.


This is all conjecture, not being a linguist, but being here in the 
midst of the mother tongue it sure seems like it.


I don't think the CL idiot was communicating in ebonics, he was probably 
just a dumbass.
