      Imagine criticising someone for using a word despite it having been in the vernacular for years.

        In whose vernacular? I’ve never heard it spoken in person, just seen it on posts by some of the worst people online.

          Vernacular doesn’t need to belong to a person or even a group of people.

          If your problem is with the people who say it and not the word itself, that’s a different issue and one that I’m not really interested in debating.

            Vernacular doesn’t need to belong to a person or even a group of people.

            Then why do they call it “African American Vernacular English”?

            If your problem is with the people who say it and not the word itself, that’s a different issue and one that I’m not really interested in debating.

            Who says I can’t have two problems?

              Is English your second language? I didn’t say it can’t be associated to a person or group, I said it doesn’t need to.

              I also didn’t say that you can’t have more than one problem, I just addressed the one you seemed to be concerned with and defined it as one that I’m not interested in debating.
