Add rule to detect Black English Vernacular
Do we instead want to be able to detect arbitrary dialects?
E.g., A linter of Samuel Clemens to be placed on Mark Twain's writings?
How would that even be accomplished? Some kind of grammar learning for alternative forms? Is there a good model of how dialectic syntaxes differ?
This feels somewhat out of scope, looking at it from years in the future. It would be nigh on impossible to detect arbitrary dialects. I believe we should instead focus on maintaining standard prose, or perhaps introducing plugins for other dialects and the like.
