Completely tangential, but why are the ‘s’ at the end of words starting to get cut out “She start talking ot you like she work for HR” should be “she starts talking to you like she works for HR”
its not like it saves you time, and it just sounds awkward and clunky to say.
It’s African American Vernacular English. Calling it “uneducated and improper” can and will be perceived as racist as it’s a legitimate dialect of the English language.
Yes it is a tangent and it wasn’t appropriate to derail.
It’s really not as kind as a person thinks they are being when no one asked them to correct their grammar. It doesn’t show respect to the topic or the person speaking. Something about not letting perfection prevent progress. And honestly it wasn’t hard to understand what the OP was saying so even going the ‘hard to understand’ excuse wouldn’t fit for a grammar troll to stretch their legs out on here.

“African American Vernacular English” sounds like an awfully racist term for it.
…why? The term AAVE has been widely used for a while, including by Black Americans.
Because most people that use it aren’t African and many aren’t American.
If you still got the point of the post does the language matter if it doesn’t sound exactly the way you speak?

Does it not get exhausting to constantly get butthurt over the most trivial bullshit you read online?
