*them kids. Wouldn’t want to think they use proper grammar!

Let’s stop referring to AAVE as “improper”.

You ever been to the South? “Them kids” is not the purview of AAVE.

If it’s that prevalent, is it really improper at this point?

If the term “proper” bothers you, feel free to replace it with “standard” or “formal.”
