Talk:Ever After Lingo: How to Speak like a Fairytale/@comment-4598697-20151204014053/@comment-4214478-20151204043311

Not any more stupid than people using the slang we use on a daily base ("read", "drag", "slay", to name only a few). Using one's vernacular, especially the use of slang, as a means to measure their intelligence is and always be defunct. It's how we communicate. Why wouldn't we have fun with it?

Now there's also a discussion to be had about non-black people using AAVE-specific slang and grammatical functions in an appropriative way, while simultaneously vilifying the way black people speak. Like, think about it, there's a reason that black-coded language is viewed as though it sounds "stupid."

But I suppose that's a discussion for another day. Anyway, proper language is a myth and I'll use all the slang I want because I love myself and know how to have fun. Peace out. Way out.
