Average ticket resale price for tonight's NBA finals game is over $1000. I don't understand how people are willing to pay that with the extensive TV coverage nowadays.

That's an exaggeration. Ebonics has some Southern influences, but it's completely different in almost every other way.

Ebonics has distinct grammar rules that differ from standard English. It's not just lazy/incorrect speech; like all languages, it follows certain grammar rules. In many ways, it's like a creole version of English. If a nonnative speaker of Ebonics tries to emulate it, it's common for them to make syntax errors.

There's a spectrum of black accents, from the milder ones (many of which have some commonalities with southern accents) to ebonics, which is non-standard but as you said has its own grammar.

I've thought West Virginia are two similar states. Both inland small mountain states not that far from the east coast. Both have deep river valleys and no real big cities. But culturally and historically very different.

Thinking just geography. I take it you don't think they're similar at all.

No, I agree. You just forgot to specify which state you were talking about. LOL.
