We don’t speak English here. Trust me. We’re supposed to. That’s what we tell everyone. But we made up our own fucked-in-the-ass version called American. It’s a language of slang. Maybe one day it will be recognized as a real language… you never know, Ebonics was.
I have my degree in English… creative writing and poetry. Everything I learned in school was a far cry from what we actually speak. Pop culture has ruined that. Valley girl speak and hip-hop slang shoved our given language out the window. I don’t mind so much. We are a country built by people that wanted to express themselves in a different manner then the rest of the world. So, it would only make sense that we have our own language. No matter out fucked-in-the-ass it is.
