If we’re going to call jive ebonics, ought we also have a catchy name for the slaughter being commenced on the english language by the good southern folk?

Phonecks? Phorednics?

Personally, I’m for keeping the national anthem all-english, all the time. I think the spanish version would make good target practice for a thirty-’ought’-six.

Off-topic, but up until about 100 years ago, “ain’t I” was considered correct English. see here. Just dropping some knowledge.

I think the National Anthem should be sung. Period. I think the more people singing it, the better. If they want to sing it in pig latin, so what, as long as it’s sincerely done and not making fun of it?
