Just another annoying example of an inability to properly conjugate verbs, in my book. A friend told me about a TV show (COPS?) in which a black man was comforting a friend who was shot, telling him to “stay woke” as in remain conscious. Sure, it’s come to mean something else, mostly by whitey, from what I see, but I have no respect for the term. Is it to be another of “their words?”
I’m sure it came from a conjugation problem and that it will become one of “their” words.
