I know, I was just saying, it's not really a "trend" like they make it out to be in rap videos today, it's just a natural way of pronouncing certain words or having a certain inflection, like an accent I think, or a way of constructing sentences. Michael's always spoken with a certain amount of ebonics, lol, it's obvious he doesn't do it on purpose, it's just the way he speaks. I was just pointing that out.[/b]

EBONICS
A "variation" of English entirely made up of slang and southern word shortenings.
It is generally spoken in the "hood" (neighborhood) and has almost no defined syntactical structure.
Also of note is the almost complete lack of conjugation of verbs ("I be", "she be", "thems be", etc)
and the mixing of pronouns.[/b]

lol, you don't have to be from the hood to use ebonics. Michael sure isn't. :lol:It's really not all that technical.
It's just the way peeps from "the hood" speak.[/b]
