Do you assume that someone is uneducated when they use slang?

Question

I have an engineering degree, but that has never influenced my speech. I mix in alittle slang and the word aint because I think it makes language interesting.

Answer 1

I have a business degree and use slang...I just know where and when.
Slang is what gives us our "spark!"

As long as you know that you should only use it when appropriate, you should be fine.
However, be careful because it may make you look uneducated to some.

Answer 2

The use of slang is a part of culture. It has it's place and time. The ones that use it are at ease with their place in society. The slang changes with time and non formal education. My mates know me.

Answer 3

You have to know the person. I can conduct a business meeting fine with all the big wigs.
I can also trash talk with the best of them at the bar. My sis and I have our OWN language sometimes. We invent words and some family hasn't a clue to what the hell we are talking about sometimes.

Answer 4

If it's all slang and the grammar is poor, and there's a lot of profanity, then I assume their uneducated

Answer 5

Your slang is about where you come from,not because your stupid.Nothing worse than a person who earns big money, thinks that they have to talk all posh, thats just snobbery(you've got to laugh.) My friend did it,i'm like what wrong with your voice,pillock!

Answer 6

Sometimes. Depends on the slang.
If they can't conjugate the verb or use ain't then yeah, I'll judge them
If they use something like y'all, not so much because technically it isn't grammatically incorrect.

As long as you use correct grammar, I'm good.

Answer 7

i think it depends what slang word and how exactly they use it

Answer 8

No, only a snob would think that.

Answer 9

not necessarily it all depends with how they use em
