I'm a transplanted pilgrim, (from Pa. originally). I've gotten over the dropping of R's... "Paaking your caa". But what still irritates me is putting the damn things where they never were... I live in Americer with a girl named Liser. vs. I live in America with a girl named Lisa.

I don't know for sure but I think ebonics is just plain laziness vs. being an accent or a language.
