yes Laurelin, you r right, it isnt worth it, you cant even read typos, or words that are not from your walk of life..
Right... wasn't I clear when I said "Blatant misspelling?" Typos are one thing... I make them all the time simply because I type too fast. Repeatedly spelling words like time as 'tyme' and know as 'kno' doesn't mean you're from a different walk of life... It means you're lazy. I don't mind slang so much... And while I don't listen to rap, or even deal with people from the hood, or wherever you're coming from, I *CAN* read what you've written. I understand your grammar is different... Goodness knows, I help out at my University with the Conversational English class by volunteering as a conversation partner for people new to the English language. However, *DON'T* expect me to give you the same amount of respect I give people new to the language... I will not, because you have chosen to misspell as a way to set yourself apart. If you don't want to use *my* language correctly, when you obviously know how to spell properly (using words like Ebonics), then you don't deserve my respect, or my attention...
