If you can’t make yourself understood and if you can’t convey what you mean...why bother getting an ‘education ??
Where I worked with grad students, some of them were actually incapable of speaking properly.
One in particular, I asked several time to repeat what he said.... and STILL I could not understand what he said.
Finally, I told him: ‘If you are spending 4 years doing all this work and spending so much money for an ‘education’... then why do you want to sound like a person who is uneducated?’
What was his reply?
Samuel L Jackson and you went to the same school?

For many blacks, avoiding proper grammar seems to be an act of insolence and defiance, of “sticking it to the man.” I’ve noticed that recent black immigrants don’t usually have that attitude, and often speak excellent English.
