To me "Ebonics" is a Dialect. If they were to do that there
be so many...
Press 4 for Spanglish
Press 5 for New York nasal
Press 6 for CrakaJax....

This is where you are flawed my friend. The US has no official language. Its not english and its not spanish. English is not the official language in the United States. When they voted on how to write the documents, constitution ect, German lost by one vote. As I said the United States Government doesnt have an official language. If you want to change that vote people in that will change it. Until then they will use the most common languages. Quebec is English and French. Option 2 is because the second most popular is spanish in the US. Personally I dont have an issue with it.

Teacherhelper !! - I remember that lady in Airplane !! It was Barbara Billingsley, who was the mother in Leave it to Beaver. I was gonna say that was one of the funniest parts of the movie and then I realized that almost all of the dialog was hilarious in that movie. It's still a classic comedy !!
Ebonics? Wasn't that big in the 90's? No one cares about such nonsense anymore.

it already is for english and spanish, but ebonics has been proven by linguists not to be a language, but rather a corruption of a pidgin dialect, that is to say, its just "bad english"

Have you ever seen the 1970's movie "Airplane"? Remember the older lady who had to translate "jive" for the two black men on the plane so the white people could understand what they meant???

I always press one, having to use the telephone cuts into my flirting time heavily, I never know who I'm really talking to anyway.
