My color wheel is already outdated, but I like it.
Standard English pronouns 23.
I tutored hundreds of children, and all used standard English for school essay writing, speech writing, admissions essays, vocabulary building, grammar, syntax, poetry, and short stories. A regional novel or short story could contain AAVE. Huckleberry Finn is an example.
Standard English is what one needs to succeed. Amala agrees.
Note 1: When I was writing Pretty City Murder, there was some dialog between two Hispanic thugs. My editor said I could not fake it, so the dialog was thrown into the “never to be seen again” pile.
Note 2: When I subbed at a predominantly black school in San Francisco, the school counselor came to my classroom at my request to restore order, and I think he was speaking AAVE. I couldn’t reproduce his scolding if I tried.
Note 3: When I subbed at an elementary school in a predominantly black neighborhood, although the school was mixed, it was the only time I was asked to be a permanent sub. It was first grade, and the children were darling, but my six feet cannot stoop below sixth or higher.
