I don't quite meet the 35 and over segment, and since I didn't grow up with AAEV in my childhood home, it is not quite to the proficiency of, say, Barbara Billingsley.

But I think Zacha341 makes a good point here. The house I did grow up with was bilingual, and so I was getting [[my parent's best version of) SFWE at home.

I don't think most native AAEV speakers are getting that at home.
