No, I'm still in High school. I don't think thats part of the curriculum. I'm not OLD enough to start reading classical literature yet. I have yet to catch up with you on that one. No offense

Uncle Remus was something my granny used to read to me as a small child, along with Aesop's fables. I have a first edition Uncle Remus that is worn to the threads and still enjoy trying to spit it out. good stuff and I am sure it isn't part of the curriculum.
I was greatly amused on day when a southern lady tried to order a lobster dinner in a way down east Maine chowder house. I wound up translating as I can speak both southern and down east. Actually they are fairly closely related through the common Scots Irish. I have also observed that city people speak much faster than country people but actually say just about as much over the same time.
One way to gauge acceptance of any style of speech is to speak that way during a job interview for a white collar, managerial position.
Of course. Ghetto-speak gets a person no where fast. I was wondering if the left wing still embraced it as a "diversity" issue. Guess the loons still do.
I want better for all people. To accept and even embrace young people that speak this way is a crime.
Personally I'm more concerned with what a person has to say as opposed to how they say it.
