Subject: Ebonics-Sorry!



Hello Everybody! I'm new on the ADS page, and I forwarded the Ebonics Lord's

Prayer that I received a few days ago from a friend. I'm sorry if I've

offended anyone...I'm just interested in all forms of language and thought

that might be the case for ADS people. I get loads of wonderful things from

around the world...samples of English words being integrated into Japanese,

Spanish, etc., conversations in Nigerian Pidgeon (sp?), but perhaps these are

not in the purview of ADS. Anyway, again, my apology to all, and I really

enjoy reading the inquiries and comments. Bye!
