If you want to reliably care for someone who is dependent on you, it is horrifically irresponsible to turn to crime and risk being taken away from them. You're not going to pay mommy's medical bills from the inside of a prison cell.


What else would you have them do? Apply for jobs that they're not qualified for? As far as they can see, either you take the risk and get something out of it, or you don't and your little brother goes to bed without dinner.

In short it's a dialectical elements borrowed from on the assumption that AAVE is closely related to Creole as it is to English, or it came directly from Creole and its other African-related dialects.


I see. You seem pretty knowledgeable about the dialects of the African diaspora. Do you have any affiliation with it?

If I was enter to enter a Thieves Guild it would be for the express purpose of destroying it from the inside. I have a very strong distaste for criminality of any kind.


No matter the circumstance?
If you're talking about "the" sounding like "de", then I know.

Otherwise I'm not sure what you're saying, forgive me. Are you talking about Trini accents? I'm not very versed in any island accents besides Jamaica's, though I can understand what they are saying because of the similarities. I just wouldn't be able to speak it.

If I ever use an accent I simply mention the accent (Not posted here for a while but I like to see how it progresses). Using the actual dialect such as Scots makes things overly complicated, well. Not for me as I grew up with it but for others.


Guessing you're Scottish?
I find it hard to imagine someone doing an authentic Afrocarib accent without growing up around it, simply because they are so difficult (Mainly speaking about Jamaica here, but some of the other islanders sound similar so the logic may still apply), but that can depend on how rough it is. The sentence structure is also switched up.

Whereas an American may say "It's not a thing you know."

A Jamaican will say "Is not a t'ing enuh." (I use an apostrophe because they often leave out the 'h' in 'thing'.) They also use "say" a lot before they are about to explain something, pronounced as "seh." They also often replace the plural s by saying "them" (pronounced dem) to signify they are talking about several of the same thing.

American: "You know the chickens are gone?"

Jamaican: "You know seh de chicken dem gone?"

As far as I can tell, other more popular accents still keep the same sentence structure that we're all using right now, but that's just my 2 cents.
Jamaican accents.

Typed or spoken, you will not understand it.
