[Sloth]

I heard one precious young girl say...."I ain't got no money...." and turning, thought of explaining to her that if she continued talking like that she would NEVER have any MONEY...but...alas, she was black, and I sure didn't want to get in trouble.

I see a significant difference between informal communication between peers and situations that call for "good English." There are certain settings where I might very well say "I ain't got no money," or even write it, if I was shooting for a folksy, colloquial tone.

Unfortunately, I didn't sense any "folksy, colloquial tone." I've heard enough of my own grandchild and other children saying "gots" and other incorrect English to know it's standard and NOT corrected by their parents or teachers.....who just do NOT want to hurt their poor little feelings....setting them up, of course for a fall later.
