Check these out if you want to learn more, shocking!!!

I don't think there's any cause to get upset or defensive here.  Look it up on line...even colleges are offering courses in Ebonics!  ...well of course they are more sociology-type courses, but still, people are PAYING to learn about the why's and how's of this "other" language.

A quote from one of the sites I found:

"UT-Austin's "Introduction to the Study of African American English," teaches students that the sentence, "Nobody didn't leave" is not "mainstream English with mistakes," but rather a legitimate English dialect. "Ebonics: Myth and Facts" and "African-American English" are both offered at Harvard. Penn and UCLA also promote Ebonics as a legitimate dialect in, "Introduction to African American and Latino English" and "Afro-American Sociolinguistics: Black English," respectively."

He filed a claim in Small Claims Court in the state where he was living.  Apparently the staff of these shows watch the dockets and pick ones they think will make a good show because he got a call from Judge Joe Brown's staff who wanted him to be on that show and the next day got a call from Judge Judy's staff who wanted him to be on her show.  He chose Judge Judy because he would not have to travel as far to go to her show.  It was all very interesting.  He did not think so at the time he was going through it - it was very stressful for him - but in the end he was happy with the outcome and glad he did it. 

The point of it is that the show is "arbitration", it is not an actual court of law.  He had to sign papers saying that he accepted the "arbitration" and if he did not like the outcome he gave up his right to recourse in a court of law.  He chose that route because he felt that if he took it to court, though he probably would get a judgment against the defendant, he would still have to collect.  But with JJ, the show paid the judgment and he got a check for the whole amount, tax free, plus $500 for showing up on the show, within 7 to 10 days.

Not the best, not the worst.  Very easy to set up and use.  You may need to fiddle with the settings for speeding up and slowing down dictation, but that's not hard to do.  I'm available if you need help!  I used it all through school and did just fine with it.

Good luck!
