Unfortunately, I am not fluent in ebonics. That presents a problem as native speakers consistently approach me and begin to speak quickly in ebonics.

I have several cheat sheets so that I can communicate with them in the wild.

When it comes to general Internet usage, I generally get white guys to translate for me. They keep up with the changes in the vocabulary, grammatic structure and pronouncation more so than myself.

I'd like to thank those several helpful white guys, without them I could no longer pass the language requirement to renew my ghetto pass.
