I can see why. sweatdrop

See, people like this is why I chose the option to take an Honors English 11 class at my school. I was tired of the illiterate people I was in Standard English with.

I wish I could tell you it gets better in college, but that depends on where you go. Nowadays even the illiterate can get into most schools, they just dont last as long or do as well. (NB: I was shocked to discover that "nowadays" is a real word now. It has an entery in the AP stylebook)

Translating from text-lingo to Standard US English...

Quote:
- You are gay.

- Gay is ghetto, and ghetto is good.

- Yeah, ghetto is the way to go.

- You're my homie*. (?)

- Damn, someone farted!

*Proper interpretation needed


Translation complete. Heh, funny, I attained enough translating prowess to eat these grammatically mutilated sentences for breakfast! Not in a literal sense, though. exclaim

Yes, I saw that too. "Nowadays" is an actual word, though you wouldn't believe how many people put "now a days" instead.

I was torn halfway between a laugh, and a miserable groan at that! *Goes back to "And Ladies of the Club" novel for literacy solace*
