Can you type in Ebonics?
Ebonics is a Dialect, a way of speaking, correct? So it can't really be typed, because you have to hear it to identify it, right? 10 points for the best answer.

"Ebonics" is essentially Gullah speech. It has some markedly different pronunciations, some different vocabulary, and different rules of grammar. If you took the time to learn it you COULD type it as it is spoken.

Ebonics is a spoken dialect. It's written the same as regular English, it's just pronounced differently. For instance 'ask' is pronounced 'axe'.

Ebonics is an artificial construct and is actually racist in intent.
Bottom line, even chimps prefer English.
