"Mangled" and "aberrant" sez who? 

Since Malign seems to suffer some of the same
misapprehensions re "Ebonics" as "Morris", Malign
might benefit from carefully reading davemarc's posts
in this thread, as well as exploring the subject more
deeply in the links provided. Your ignorance is really
showing in this case, fellas.  Not to mention your
prejudices -- "mangled" and "aberrant"?  Harsh words
for the grammar that informs so much beautiful
American literature! What a hateful asshole you are.

jbor's on the right track here:

I believe a careful reader can find more than a few
traces of this tragic reality in Pynchon's writing.
