My piece is not actually a counterpoint. I think we're actually on the same side of this issue.
ReplyDeleteI've been quoted in both the Baltimore Sun and the Baltimore Messenger as saying that I don't believe she has a legitimate claim to the word "hon".
I just think that a lot of the more hysterical, extremist elements are alienating the mainstream with the way they're conducting their discourse.

Ha! I absolutely agree..it certainly seems Denise has really struck a raw nerve this time. (It doesn't help that her image isn't all that nice around the 'hood)...
ReplyDeleteBut I supposed if the govn't says she owns "Hon" they believe any colloquial term can be trademarked. Maybe we should have trademarked "sup" or "Que Pasa" in the 90's!
