My assistant might be afflicted with ebonics. might she be contagious?

Doubt it!!: The only way I have heard the word ebonics used is in literary terms. Maybe someone else has heard otherwise ?

Not contagious: Ebonics is african american vernacular english, which is a bit different from american english. An american english speaker who only spends a few hours a day with a person speaking another english dialect, but is not immersed in the other dialect all day long, is not likely to unintentionally start speaking in the other english dialect.
