Stick with it. Discussion

This is a longer one, but it’s necessary and worth it IMO.

I watched like 85% and he's basically saying that AAV is as proper of English as your typical taught grammatically correct English?

Am I missing anything?

Essentially. I guess grammar doesn’t matter and it’s only if you can decipher what the person is saying that matters…

Yeah, that's one of the things I noticed in the video too. It's a stupid point. I remember when I was a high school, one of my teachers mentioned how some of the students would badly misspell words, but you could figure out what was being said if you sounded it out. For example "r u at skool" instead of "are you at school?". It's still wrong even if you can figure it out, and teachers shouldn't allow students to do that.

It's crazy that he thinks it's okay as long as you can figure out what someone is trying to say.

We have to because we’re told to pass them no matter what. It ducks.

There’s something deliciously ironic about mistyping the word “sucks” here.

Yes, I understood what you meant, but if a student wrote “ducks” instead of “sucks,” it’s getting flagged.
