  • And you'll be waiting a long time. I won't lie and tell you that AAVE is not looked down on by many, but I also won't tell you that other vernaculars are accepted as The Englishtm.

    Yinz accepted even outside its provincial origin, but is still disallowed in tests/essays and other formal applications as a consequence of being vernacular.

  • I don't know that this counts as disrespectful, so much as the custom of English to change and adapt on exposure to anything.

    At best it could be called informal, which is in line with its source material (the meme)

  • It may not, but then the logistics becomes an even more insidious problem- how do you determine who is loyal to the government/military and who will disclose shipping routes or guard routines or other classified info. Further, because it is within the US, and the families of the loyalists are impacted, how do you guarantee their loyalty?

  • A quick search will pull up several stories about police leaving their service weapons in restrooms. It happens, and their chain of command should reprimand them for it, but that may not change their behavior. Don't need to use it, but familiarity with the manual of arms to secure it is paramount in such a public place.

    As for training- I look at it in the same vein as first aid: desperately useful for that one moment, but not otherwise.
