I had a few minutes to watch the live coverage. The reporter was interviewing a few of the people in the streets. Out of 4 I watched being interviewed I could understand only one of them fairly well. I could pick up a few words from two and one could not annunciate anything that sounded even remotely like English. This slice of illiteracy is appalling.
The local language is not English. It is Ebonics.
