त्याचप्रमाणे, I don't have any money असे न म्हणता, I ain't got no money असे म्हणायचे असे मला ब्रुकलिन NY इथे समजले.

एकदा मी एका ३५ ४० वर्षाच्या अमेरीकन बाईला विचारले की तुम्ही लोक ain't का वापरता. त्यावर तीचे उत्तर भारी होते.
ती म्हणते, सगळे लोक ain't वापरत नाहीत, जे कमी शिकलेले आहेत आणि society तल्या एका विशीष्ठ स्थरातील लोक ain't म्हणतात. हे सगळे सांगताना तीच्या चेहर्‍यावरचे हावभाव बघण्यासारखे होते
तीला सरळ सरळ black लोक ain't वापरतात असे म्हणतात येत नव्हते. आणि मग घुमवुन फिरवुन ती मला काळे लोक तो शब्द वापरतात आणि चांगले लोक असे शब्द वापरत नाही हे समवायचा प्रयत्न करत होती
