Got my picks in, but I had to go back to Essence's post of 5/17 at 4:11 to get the link to get there. I am having the hardest time finding AR4 by going in through the front door. Still have not found my way to Loser Biiingo for AR4, but there is still plenty of time. Thanks to everybody (and especially Tabbyking) for explaining what is going on, otherwise I would not have had a clue as to how to answer any of those questions.

alaginger, it should say 'games' across the top bar. without clicking on it, put your cursor on the word, then drag it down to media wh0re, then you should see TAR listed to the side. if you do actually 'click' on the word games before dragging your cursor down, it will put up the 3 games and you can then click on the one that says media wh0re and then go into TAR.
right now it's kind of screwy because they are updating their formats. i cannot log off and i cannot get either of my kids in to play; it took me forever to get myself in to start with. it kept saying i had the wrong password, over and over again, before it suddenly let me in.
i'm sure once they have the forum section updated, glitches will be worked out.

Thanks for the link MJH........that helps a lot when going from here to there (LOL - I'm getting lazy). I'm registered, and I can get a card, but there are not questions yet.......right? Nobody else is getting any questions? If so, I think I'm in the right place as far as I can go for now. Thanks for the help guys. When it is open for questions, one of us should post here so we can make sure we catch it...........

Looked this up for us in the dictionary over the Internet.

What is Ebonics?


Ebonics is a recent term for an American variety of English otherwise called Black Vernacular English, African American English, American Black English, African American Vernacular English, and other similar names. Implicit in all these names is the recognition of the English spoken by American blacks as a distinct variety, and the term Ebonics came into use about the time of a controversial decision by the school board of Oakland in California to declare the black vernacular a second language.

Okay, I've made my picks ... I'm already looking for the suck thread cuz I don't know how this is going to go.

edited to add: I'm registering my protest of the ebonics question, it's offensive

I probably will be right there with you in the suck thread Lady. I also find the question of Debra eating the food offensive.

Tabbyking

gosh, i do remember the big oakland ranting and raving debates over using ebonics several years back! it was a huge 'controversy' because present-day students were being taught (what was considered to be) "proper" grammar in school, but there was also the 'family' language on the streets and in their homes. and how did you test the kids in english/grammer, and would it be only acceptable for black children to use 'ebonics', etc...was it just a lazy way of talking?... on and on...
it was more of 'we bees dun this', than 'we did this'...i remember trying to think which side i would be on. it was pretty much a 'given' that once in the market place, an employer might prefer someone say, "we are going to go with your plan" as opposed to "we be usin' yourn." but at the same time, was it wrong to be trying to change the way they spoke or infer their parents were wrong or ignorant by speaking the way they did...and if it was only locally accepted, what happened when the ebonics speakers moved to areas far from oakland...

i don't find the ebonics question offensive. i consider it to mean does she speak what is a 'second' acceptable language for african americans. JMO

i could have found the 'debra eating' question offensive, but hope they meant more along the line of did someone offer her a bite and she accepted...

and this is just media wh0re. they have never been the better part of valor or tact!

Sorry, but as an African American, Ebonics is NOT a "second acceptable language".

As a whitey, I thought it was in bad taste also.

Tabbyking

Monday, May 26, 2003 - 03:54 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
that's why i put it in quotes. according to what transpired in oakland, and from what alaginger found above, it IS an acceptable 'second' language there.
that is why there was such an uproar.

i am saying that i don't think media did it to be 'intentionally offensive'. but sometimes they are offensive...

whether the whole idea of ebonics is acceptable is a whole different ballgame. personally, i don't believe it's a second acceptable language either.

Probably a discussion on the efficacy of Ebonics would warrant its own thread :)

back to media...i have to go see if the bingo game has questions up yet. that is always a fun game to play.

nope, nothing to pick yet....

Just checking in.....and just wanted to make sure nobody thought I was being offensive by posting what the dictionary said "ebonics" was. I didn't have a clue and didn't know how to answer that question. Thought others might be in the same boat. And, I have to agree I think it was an offensive question for MW to put up (but that's just MW) and sure hope nobody thought I was being offensive by posting the meaning here. If so, please accept my apology........thanks, Ginger

Tabbyking

Monday, May 26, 2003 - 05:22 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
i didn't think you were being offensive and i didn't mean my post to be offensive, either, so hopefully others just took it as a discussion, too. apologies all around if my posts were worded in a way that offended anyone. i didn't mean them to!
i agree that sometimes MW is offensive; i'm just not sure they 'meant' this particular question to be offensive. (?)

Alaginger

Monday, May 26, 2003 - 05:35 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
So Tabby...........did you put "yes" or "no" for your 5 points on that answer. I had "no" until I looked it up, then put "yes", but now I'm not sure........but for 5 points, I'm not going to worry about it.

Pamy

Monday, May 26, 2003 - 06:21 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Personally, I was offended by either of you. I will be curious if the posters at MW discuss the question and if it offended anyone over there.
FWIW...I answered the question No.
