Why do some Yahoo answerers use "da" instead of "the"?

Question

or "dey" instead of "they". I understand people may speak like that, but WRITE like that???? As in "dey think that dat thing is for da other thing", (OK I made up that sentence but I see this stuff all the time).
SPEAK PROPERLY!!! Or, if you can't speak properly, at least try and WRITE PROPERLY!!!!!
*throws a dictionary in disgust*

Answer 1

I ges they wanna rite the way they talk cos its da way dey ar.
Ouch! It hurts to type that way. LOL
I try to spell properly and use the spelling check almost every time.

Answer 2

I have thrown dictionary in disgust also! Do these people write like that in school, college or work? For me personally, putting all those "da's" and "dey's" in, would be more difficult than writing normally. Have a great 2007

Answer 3

Dey du it bcos u r da one 2 do it b4 2 some1.

Answer 4

Lmao!
Yep i know what you mean, sometimes i go to answer a Q and the writing is all in text slang! i do understand it, but i would prefer people to write in full English!! When i am sending a text, i do use slang eg " wot u up 2 " instead of " what are you up to? " but on here i always use proper English!!

Answer 5

i wager i might want to ought to bypass with the buzz. merely questioning what i'd see next. Will I see maneuvers i have in no way considered earlier? Will I see a superb journey between 2 competition? Will I see a nicely deserved wrestler ultimately get his push? or possibly it would want to be the actual incontrovertible truth that i in my opinion might want to favor to attempt this in the course of the destiny and that i'm getting to understand as I be conscious. i understand i'm sort of answering your question with questions, yet i'm not formally particular myself. i understand the journey that were given me hooked to wrestling change into the Dean Malenko vs Eddie Guerrero 2 out of three falls journey in ECW. After viewing that, i understand I loved what I suggested and that i kept searching and searching into it. The technically potential displayed in that journey change into impressive. That change into between the significant factors that stuck my eye.

Answer 6

Muppets. They need to grow up. I'd love to see the reaction if they spoke like that at a job interview. It's like people who walk with effected gangsta limps. How stupid is that?! Yeah, look at me, I limp coz I were shot init.

It does make me wonder whether those girls who Vicky Pollard is modelled on really do get the joke... Or if they're actually so stupid as to not recognise the similarities and how ridiculous they appear caked in gold jewellery, smoking, with their hair all scraped back, dressed deliberately to look like a chav. Why would you want to aspire to be like that??

Answer 7

It's probably derived from the West Indies.... and most of the people who I know who write things like that are of a younger, and therefore more mobile-phone-infected generation that I am (I'm 36!).

Answer 8

I know just what you mean. Its so annoying. The same as people who write using the 'text' language. Can't be doing with all that. Use PROPER English any day.

Answer 9

Jajaja sorry but it's funny for me, I'm learning English and sometimes people talk to me with diferent words like: ppl, ya, u...and a lot.
In Spanish people make more errors than these, lucky you can understand it!
