A dialect is just as much valid as any other language. Just you ain't get it don't mean it's dumb. Lit's been around for a long time and will continue to be after usage falls outta favor with non-AAVE speakin' folks.

Did anybody complain about the validity of dialects? No, and a dialect is like a subcategory of a language(to put it simply), with AAVE itself being a dialect within English. And somebody finding lit dumb doesn't mean they don't get it because they're not apart of whatever social group you identify with, it just means they don't like the word, at least when used in this context. And no I see it falling off because it's being used waay more now compared to say 10 years ago,...

You gettin' real heated, fam. Fact of the matter is, you only got beef with the word because its usage is popular, let's be real. A year or two ago you didn't know shit about it and didn't have an opinion on it. Same applies to a whole lotta AAVE words that get popular with non-black folks. Y'all bitch n moan about the word until it falls outta use with y'all again. But you know nothing of the word other than the word, and maybe the meaning if it ain't bastardized...
