Is African American Vernacular English (AAVE) the ideal form of English?

[Dremora]

>better ways to show aspect and literally more aspects than normal "advanced" english
>grammatical features are easier to comprehend
>tenses are more advanced and literally better
>habitual be is a very intuitive way to form habitual sentences
>copula dropping in place of contractions, making everything literally easier (copula dropping is also really common
>Verbs are uninflected for number and person, which makes sense because this is also missing in english except for like one exception in the -s suffix of the third person singulars
>More regularized grammar rules, compared to normal english with a fucking billion irregularities
>Word order in questions lack the inversion of most other forms of English, which makes the auxilliary do literally irrelevant
>Use of ain't as a general negative indicator is literally a thousand times simpler than normal english that uses "am not, isn't, aren't, haven't, hasn't, don't, doesn't, or didn't" WHICH IS UNINTUITIVE

AAVE is literally better than normal English. It's more expressive, more intuitive, more detailed and STILL simpler

You mean ebonics?

Typical AAVE speaker: "I didn't do nothing"

The appearance of a double or triple negative is proof enough that it’s inferior.

What is so bad about double negatives? Many languages which are considered eloquent or beautiful utilize them

Double negatives cancel each other out.

In formal English, you do not use double negatives unless you’re trying to be humorous. Otherwise, it sounds uneducated and brutish.

Yeah but it's not formal English, it's practically another language with all the influences from other languages. Double negatives, while incorrect in English, are pretty common in other languages. What I thought you meant is that you called the concept of double negatives inferior in itself which I can now see that you didn't.

Yeah I wasn't sure if this was a playful bait or what. Ebonics was real during the clinton era in Oakland California I believe. back then the rest of the country laughed at Oakland. but now it's tamed compared to what is happening being dished out by the far left groups. But in general, Lexicons are usually pocketed expressions. local lingo but obviously with the invention of the internet (or since) its become a carbon copy across the nations and sometimes globally. is this good or making life too bland. I want to travel and see Europe, not Oakland lexi adopted.
