| If you're a grammar nazi, I suggest you put what is in my signature in yours. Just copy the image location, then surround it with [img] tags. | |

| So points for ignorance should be awarded.
However, you touched on an interesting idea in linguistics: the inner city language "ebonics" is not a bastardization of English but is actually its own language. It just doesn't really have a codified writing or stable set of rules for speaking. | |

| I should restate then. Originally, it was a bastardization of English, but then it became a language all its own. | |

| Like how English is a thief of a language. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Thief --> Bastard: English ---> Ebonics. | |

| HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT TO A LOLCAT?!?!!? D: I can tolerate leetspeak. I actually find it quite funny that, while I am browsing icanhascheezburger.com, onlookers take about x8 longer to read the image than me Btw, acronyms aren't a bad way to type. Why would you say that? Why do you think we have acronyms in the first place? And why do you think we have smileys? | |

| 1337=Elite. The 1 represents L, the 3s represent E, and the 7 represents T. So, 1337 becomes LEET becomes Elite.
Acronyms are fine. Just so long as you don't overuse/abuse them. | |
