>>Now can you get ready for that? <<

Clearly, that is supposed to read, "Now can yall get ready for dat?"

Must be a typo.

A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts.

I used to think that ebonics was the hardest 'dialect' to understand but I've changed my mind over the weekend after meeting my long lost cousins from Kentucky.

One of them told me some people who live there don't even know about 9-11....never heard of the Twin Towers; don't have no teevee, don't have no 'lectric, don't have no phone, don't even go down to WALMART!!! Imagine that...?!?! HaHaHa....lol :-)
