A photo of a book which 'captured' the difference between Standard American and African American English, is making rounds online. 

The difference according to the author of the book was mainly in word pronunciation and writing. Here is a photo of the book on the difference between Standard American and African American English below;

Here is the translation :

" I hold myself in great esteem, and that is the truth about which I am very serious, as even you very well know.

I am about to leave this place, and enter my car (hooptie), along with three of my gangster associates( ridin' fo deep). We will lean sideways in our car seats(coppin a gangsta lean), as we embark on a mission to engage in wanton sex with women who can be bought with money ( Benjamin Franklin $100 bills ).

Yet some observers are baffled ( tripping) at my conduct, forgetting that I control the women.

All the same, my associates and I are aware of this confusion among observers, because our mothers did not raise fools.

I will open fire with my gun if I ever sense that I am being disrespected, after which I will then proceed to conduct myself with indifference(play it off like it ain't chit). This is a threat that must be taken with the utmost gravity.

I have no time for frizzy-haired women (nappy-head hoes) who try to invade my personal space, while conducting themselves as though they are adults, perhaps because they might be overly proud on account of the sexual favors that they have for sale."

My problem now is that my sister just broke up with her boyfriend that used to give me money when ever he visits
Congratulations on your sister's freedom. You've been using your sister as an ATM for your selfish interest. Go earn your own money.
