Why do so many young people type like this-"dat wuz da shyt cuz. Get dat chedda bytch".? It doesnt make you sound cool and in style. It makes you sound stupid and illiterate. Please people, prove America wrong and prove that this generation will one day be able to run the Country. PLEASE, for me.

I am a young person as well. 24 is knocking on my door in September.

I agree. It's a combination of hip-hop culture, a broken educational system, and computer use. Everyone knows how to type but few know how to write in cursive script. Our young people think they need to sound like rappers to be accepted. What they discover later is the working world doesn't care much about how cool you are to your peers, they're going to be interested in how well you communicate with other cultures. The gibberish being spewed out of our televisions and the Internet is, as you said, making us all look like illiterate dolts only concerned with looking "hip." I shudder to think of the future. I'm sure my parents shuddered at my language, too, but at least I had a knowledge of proper English under the vernacular. I kind of doubt any of these kids have the same language base. Time will tell.
*Edit* And I would bet very few know what "vernacular" means.

Wouldn't it be nice if 'young folk' (I know people in their twenties who insist on using that execrable style of writing) didn't feel the need to dumb their language down to the apocryphal "ghetto" level?
I can only hope, that like Farrah Fawcett 'flick' haircuts, that fashion, too, will go the way of the dinosaurs.
That, and girls with tattoos in the small of the back.They will look attractive when they're forty...
Cheers.

Amen, Sister! I cringe when I think that THIS is the mentality of the people who will be in charge when I'm old. Scary! What's worse, they are taking this to college with them, and in some places, it's being accepted! When college entrants can't string two properly written sentences together, I'm afraid for us all!
This is where the "feel good about yourself" creative spelling methods of the 90's got us.

They're...er....all aspiring writers....so they're....uh...practicing writing in dialect...? Though....even Sha had to give up on writing in Eliza's dialect, and hers was much more understandable!
Screw it. We're doomed.
Though, if it helps, I'm A Young Person. So I'll have to live through the carnage! Hooray!

Anymore, I wish people would just speak English. I am tired of these immigrants coming into this country thinking they can get away with not learning how to speak the language. They get all of this free stuff from us and take our jobs. Learn to speak English or stay in your own Country.

I don't think they're trying to be cool. I simply think they're illiterate and living on the dumb side.
If ignorance is bliss, we're the HAPPIEST country in the world.

click right here for the subsequent step. or click right here to proceed to the subsequent step. The sentence you wrote isn't the superb option. the two of those might artwork instead for the sentence and can placed across the comparable meaning.

I agree except that it isn't just Americans that speak that way. Unfortunately it is catching on in the UK as well.
