    Language evolves, even if we don’t like it.

      Yeah it does but “I be walking” hasn’t been adopted into the English language and I have like 30 shitposters pretending that it has.

        For “I be walking” to be adopted, it needs to be used, even if it be incorrect. English language rules be shaped by its usage, not the other way around.
