Hmm. I'm a very anal retentive person when it comes to the way words are pronounced. Living in the country I strive very hard to not sound like some barefoot country bumpkin. I strive to pronounce everything with NO accent at all. And I try to spell the way I speak. To me the way you spell and speak tells a lot about a person and their intelligence level. And to top it all off slang is just annoying. I personally liked the speech that Bill Cosby made at the rainbow coalition meeting they had recently. He spoke out about how some black people speak in slang terms. And how you can't understand a word they say. And they can't spell correctly because they spell the way they speak. He spoke out about how it's not the childrens fault it's the parents fault as well because it comes from generations of ignorance. I liked his speech a lot. And it's in every race and nationality. I just thought it was very ironic that finally a black person stepped up and addressed the issue to the public.

I have been noticing a trend lately from a few people that talk like this "wut i wonna know is for realz tho if buds bad for ya becuz i gotta say i liek smokin n stuff" Ok not my best impression of what I've been seeing but anyone else notice things like this? I'm having a hard time understanding a few people around here. Rating: 5
