How can you use the word "sociolinguistic" and then ask, as your first question, if one group uses "sloppier grammar" than another?

Do I really need to review the definition of nonstandard again? Because there is NO SUCH THING as "sloppy grammar".

Well, some people see the adjective "white" as a perjorative too. I'm just pointing out that the word wasn't born bad, so to speak.

"Kabubyrate" is a piece of nonstandard vocabulary (my mother used the word as far back as I can remember). Having fun yet?
