BEFORE YOU READ, CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO GENERATE YOUR PERSONAL BLACK GAL NAME!!!!
NOW YOU ARE OFFICIALLY READY TO BEGIN YOUR LESSON!!!!!!!!!
LESSON #10:
A BLACK GAL'S NAME IS NEVER PRONOUNCED THE WAY IT IS SPELLED.
EXPLANATION:Somewhere along the line, when black folks started naming their children, they completely decided to go against the English language. Many black names are not pronounced the way it is spelled. Never question this. Just go with it! White folks choose to name their kids out of baby books, black folks just put a bunch of letters in a hat, take them out and suddenly a name is created.
The English language does not make sense anyway. I mean....pneumonia starts with a P ????
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ANDRA, SHANDRA, EISHA, NIESHA, ONDA, EIKA HYPENS...ETC.
EXPLANATION:It is common knowledge that these are the Jane does in black gal country. DO NOT BE ALARMED IF YOU SEE A CHARACTER IN THE NAME...I.E. ^^^^^$$$@@@(****////___++++ . Do not panic! She probably spelled her name correct.
