Thread: Another Language Virus

Wat r u guyz goin on about?

Der nuthin wrong wit the youth of today or da way dat they speek.

Haha people that grow up in North America, that were born and went to school here have no excuse for improper grammar and spelling. I graduated high school in 2012. I know.. I know.

It started to notice it happen when Facebook and texting took off a few years before that lets say 2008 when I was 14. I would always text people the way I would speak and I would get replies that seemed like they came from a ghetto. Hard to hold a conversation with someone who can't even spell in English... Who has been studying it for 12 years!!

I'd like to say that hip hop is probably another cause of this language decline. Youth everywhere idolize idiots who think gang banging and hustling coke will get you respect and women. They aren't educated in most cases so kids think why should I? Then give up trying in school. I have seen that happen firsthand to many kids.

A prime example from my everyday life is my girlfriends little brother. He's 18 and has 10 highschool credits. That's what a 14 year old would have.. He's spent the last 4 years of his life listening to rap in his moms basement smoking bowls of "kush." You can't even have a conversation with the kid because he literally knows 15 words and 5 of them are curse words which are used pretty much after every word he says.

It's quite sad that this is what it has come to but I have hope one day something good will influence our youth proper language and education will become a thing to strive for.
