“Miami English”, like “Ebonics”, is the left’s latest attempt to normalize ignorance.

While English and Russian are the two most technical languages, I understand that English is the most difficult to learn because of all the nuances and slang and the continuous evolution of etymology. I have worked with Latinos who grew up speaking “Latino” and they have difficulty and they always will because it’s not their mother tongue and they cannot grasp every nuance if American English. British English can be difficult for Americans to decipher as can Australian English. Take this to bank... those coworkers were far from ignorant, and I learned a smattering of latino, to the point of - I might not understand everything they’re saying but I can usually figure out what they’re talking about.

Sub-standard English is for sub-standard people 😁

I live outside of a metro area that is 51% black. I was in Sam’s the other day and two black women were yelling at each other about 25 feet apart (not angry yelling, just conversational yelling). I could not understand one word they said as I walked right by them. They were not speaking English, but they were not speaking a foreign language, either. I can’t figure out how they understand each other.

You are correct!

The left’s mission in life is to upend the status quo.

Fixing what ain’t broken is their expertise, and inevitably succeed in breaking what wasn’t broken.

Those cuban girls love it when a gringo flirts with them in Spanish.
