    at most you can consciously approximate them into writing, but they won’t be there.

    A lot of the difficulty older white people have with it, is it’s spelled phonetically to maintain those things.

    I gave you a link, lots of people have talked about this, it’s not just some idea I came up with.

    You’re still talking like language has to follow the rules.

    That’s backwards. The rules change to follow the language

    Ain’t you old enough to have heard “ain’t ain’t a word because it ain’t in the dictionary”?

    Well, now it is.

    And now the dictionary lists “figuratively” as one of the definitions for “literally”.

    Insist on following rules, and the dictionary wouldn’t update.

    I don’t know how to put it anymore plainly, I’m sorry if you still don’t understand
