It is virtually impossible to walk down the street without hearing some form of bastardization of the English language. Slang a'plenty, improperly conjugated verbs galore, Double negatives as far as the eyes can see. It is a very sad state of affairs in this country that the language skills of today's youth are so horrible that they have invented a term for it. English is one of the most complex languages in the world; Almost every other language has a logical sentence structure that is always followed. If it were the complexity of the language that people were having trouble with, that would be completely understandable, HOWEVER: it isn't. "Niggah, you be trippin' I be fuddena throw down and yo' ass got all up in my bid'ness." It seems rather odd to me that they can get all the structure parts right, they just can't pronounce the damn words. If you break that sentence up into parts of speech, there's nothing wrong with it other than the word form and pronunciation.

Contrary to popular belief, speaking improperly does not make one appear cooler. It screams out to all those listening, "Hey! I am unintelligent! I mask my lack of linguistic skills by saturating my speech with violent indifference to ensure that all my mistakes appear to be intentional!" Anyone who attended English class on a regular basis knows better; these Ebony Einsteins really aren't fooling anyone.

There are times when it is okay to modify the English language. Only after mastering it to the point where you are fully aware of the correct way to say something, and your modification is an attempt at humor. If one has even minimal knowledge of Latin prefixes or suffixes, it is simple to combine these together into words, even if they are not predefined as fitting together. It is my belief that adding endings like "-esque" or "-ified" actually improves the quality of language, in that it does not force you to compromise your meaning by changing it to a different word, already an adjective; you can simply tack it onto the end of the exact word you wish to make descriptive.

So, for all you somewhat intelligent people out there, I applaud your Sevenesque efforts to uphold the dignity of the English language. Next time you hear someone speaking ebonics, would you please stab them on my behalf. We must do our part to halt the embiggening of eboniculture.

The correct answer is E.
