I kind of agree. More like when British folks use it or say " it do be like that" then I remember I say bloody hell and I shut the fuck up.

Language is meant as a way to communicate with others, it should be shared with as many as possible so you can communicate with as many others as possible imo.

This ain't it, chief.

I've been living in Virginia for over 20 years now and y'all has regrettably snuck it's way into my vernacular finally. It sounds a bit ridiculous with the remnants of my Jersey accent, but I can't help it.

The entire appropriation of AAVE by mostly white people is annoying af. Especially because of the history behind it all.

I've spoken about this several times on here, but I think what this guy is saying comes across much better and easier to digest.

Nah, it's only the words that go mainstream. Still plenty of vernacular that's still sacred, at least for now.
