I think the urban myth that English originated beyond the shores of America is finally being dissipated.

In other news, Beatle Bailey not in trouble with his sargeant.

Biohazzard, indeed.


Ebonics. I hate them. I do not care WHO you are, if you say "In the heezy fosheezy" you are a fucking moron. Doesn't matter if you're black, white, mexican , chineese, you're a fucking retard. Same with the AOL Kiddies who tAlK lIeK dIs and spell everything wrong on PURPOSE "An den me an mah gurlz wen' on dizzown to dat place across from 'da macdonalds." or talk ONLY IN CAPS. I also hate the losers who think they are "Super l33t" because they use Kazaa and/or AIM.

I don't get what the fuckin big deal is about people who use slang. Everyone use slang, some people just use it more than others. If it annoys you, fuckin cry. You hate how they talk "street", they hate how others talk so perfect and grammatically correct. I'd rather listen to someone talk with alot of slang, then with none.

And on the net, who gives a fuck about how perfect someone types. Nobody minds their own typing, especially on MSN or AOL or whatever you use.

It's because they wouldn't normally talk like that, they just do it to sound cool.

But they don't. They sound retarded.


PS. The people who use all the interweb slang constantly are just lazy and retarded too.

True, but just like biological evolution taught us, all evolution is not necessarly a good thing...

Sickle Cell Anemia is a good example.

Nobody normally talks the way they do, everything influences the way someone talks, from TV to your friends. They just like talking like that, so let'em talk like that.

I use slang, especially on the net. Though maybe not in here, in games and on MSN I don't type anything how it should be spelt.

So people use slang, people are lazy, someone give dhark the who gives a fuck award.
