With a comment like that, either you didn't read the article or you just brought your own bigotry to it and left with it in tact.

I did read the article and was expounding upon footnote #1: "These are sometimes pidgins or creoles, such as the Chinook Jargon of the Pacific Northwest, and sometimes fully realized natively spoken languages, like Swahili or French, that become the de facto tool for commerce or diplomacy in larger areas." This ain't got nothin to do with bigotry and actually I don't got nothing against no "Ebonics"/AAVE.

In ASE, we spell that "intact". Tact is what he lacks. ;)

(Sorry to be a prat, but it was so deliciously topical.)
