I figure that if I get corrected, I should take it to heart. It's much harder to change my thinking on appropriation than it is to change what I say. It's difficult for me to frame saying the wrong things as other than "being ignorant," although when I use it mentally there's something of an excuse in there along with the judgment. I have a consciousness of the different definitions, too. I keep revising what I'm writing, and any way I put that particular mindframe, it sounds awful. I think I'm better than I was, but I need to actively work on being better than I am now. Knowing two dialects doesn't mean I should speak both, even if I think both.
