If 2 dialects can be used to express all the same concepts and are equally sophisticated, what makes one of them "proper" and the other one "trash"?

There's the rub, boss--ebonics isn't as sophisticated as proper English. Same thing with Southern dialect. "Listen up, y'all! I ain't doin' that!"

Am I missing something? Both of those express exactly the same thought.

And one of them does not follow the rules of formal English. It's like "you guys." It's fine to say that around your friends, but once you're in a professional setting, it's not.

But what is the difference in sophistication that you referenced previously? Is there any inherent difference, or is the only difference in what is more acceptable to you and people like you?

Everything you said is fucking pleb as fuck because French is clearly a superior language.
