    Where was all this umbrage when Ebonics was all the rage. I have no problem with ebonics, I think it's kinda cute but if you're going to throw a hissy then you need to be consistant irregardless. BTW, Ebonics is considered a language in and of itself and not a dialect. Wonder where that puts igpay atinlay?

    Hmmmm. That's funny.

    Reminds me of when I wrote Larry McReynolds an email pleading with him to stop using the term "RPM's". Told him it non-dimensionalized the term making it meaningless. He had his secretary at Fox Sports write me back and promised to stop using it. Which he did, believe it or not.

    Looking back I am as annoyed by my own arrogance as much as Larry's use of the term.

    Will
