I know ppl have their reasons for not liking slang (aka ebonics). but the ppl who use it have just as good reason-they cant help it! ppl grow up where it is spoken and they will speak the same way. i know that some of you say that is why you go to skool, to learn how to speak proper english. but havent you heard of the saying "you can take them out of the ghetto, but you cant take the ghetto out of them"? it's true. ppl who used to use slang can speak as proper as they want, but if it's still in them that they feel more comfortable using slang, then let them be comfortable.
i mean, i know proper english makes you SOUND more intelligent, but does that make you more intelligent? no! ppl using slang can be just as smart as ppl speaking proper english. I personally think that using your own way of speaking is good-isnt change good? slang is having no kind of seriously negative effect on the world so leave the ppl alone who like to use slang.
no rude comments please, thank you.
