I hope you didn't derive that from my post because that is not what the intent was at all. If someone chooses NOT to speak proper English, that's their choice. If they do it for cultural reason, my suggestion is to get with the times. The minute we stop segregating people because of their color of skin, they dialect they choose to speak with, the build of their character, then and only then will we truly be "the melting pot". Until then, we will continue to create divides between people because they choose not to conform with a basic principle like speaking proper English.
