It's all part of the Dumbing Down of America! If it sounds ghetto/gangsta, or country/redneck, it's somehow chic to butcher the English language.

What peeves me most is all the double negatives!

I don't have a clue! I still get frazzled when people say "a apple" and not "an apple" so maybe I'm just crazy- but people sure sound silly when they talk like that- and I'm only 20 years old! you would think a granny would be leaving a comment like this- sigh.
