I aint seeing what the prob is glasses


The problem is when people use slang words like "da" and "aight" or "shawty", that seriously disturbs me. What is so hard about using correct English?

because its easier to use these words I dont know,just cause we use these dont mean nothing,we all got are own thing:wink: :wink: I like using my own words

There are so many other things in this crazy world that disturbs me... the use of slang is way down on the list. We all have our sayings, from Yall to Ya... depending on what part of the country. I actually find them endearing. My favorite is... thatll learn em.....laugh laugh laugh

OC I understand it is easier, but if someone cannot understand you that becomes a problem. Do you at least rephrase it so they can? That is where my problem comes in. If I am talking to someone I expect to be able to understand them.

Suppose for argument's sake that you did, would you continue to talk that way and keep them baffled or would you make them understand you?

Well depending on what slang you use, most people could probably understand. I just think some terms are disrespectful, such as "shawty". I have a name and I expect to be called by it. Just a pet peeve of mine, I am sorry if other people don't share it but I am entitled to have them.

Yea it's totally different if people can understand you. That would not bother me but if I am talking to someone I don't think I should be saying "huh" 98% of the time as I did earlier. I talk to you all the time and have no problems but some people I think just do it on purpose.
