Hypocrites.<br />Because he is speaking in the vernacular, I wouldn&#39;t be to quick to criticize Mr Bradford. It could be argued that some internet vernaculars (1337, LOLspeak) have their own unique grammatical rules. <br /> Although I do not fully agree with that statement, I would like to say that the oft-criticized &quot;black speak&quot; (or Ebonics) of American-American proletariat IS a unique dialect with astonishing internal and regional consistency that conforms to its own rules. African-American vernacular is not just corrupter Proper (American) English, it is a genuine dialect of the English language.<br />http://www.stanford.edu/~rickford/ebonics/EbonicsExamples.html<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EbonicsJacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16319945943943310287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031319710729069700.post-53306764937436732292009-11-11T19:45:16.102-08:002009-11-11T19:45:16.102-08:00pancake is slang for crack according to urban dictionary. i assume that they want you to believe he was looking for crack.d.c.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05056320722631706961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031319710729069700.post-81556948304849487152009-11-11T14:53:12.736-08:002009-11-11T14:53:12.736-08:00My mistake! When I used the web site&#39;s store locator, I hadn&#39;t realized that I had it set to show only the nearest three locations. As for the variety of menu items, I respond simply that IHOP stands for International House of Pancakes.Short Roundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10316379024287889607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031319710729069700.post-33220922368829075822009-11-11T14:44:13.947-08:002009-11-11T14:44:13.947-08:00IHOP has a variety of menu items above and beyond pancakes. And yes, there is an IHOP in Jackson Heights as well.TID Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07736418210796580114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031319710729069700.post-90413479653402918072009-11-11T14:32:43.606-08:002009-11-11T14:32:43.606-08:00There is not just one IHOP in New York City.RatherBeBikinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11002946214914910451noreply@blogger.com
