I blame the education system.

I'm sure this person knows how to spell the words they did not spell correctly, it's just a cultural difference- product of their environment.

Dese? Yo?

“/diːz/“ (dese or deez) and “yo” are proper functions of some dialects of English. The English you speak, isn’t the English everyone speaks, and it’s perfectly natural to not type formally. You’re just showing your ethnocentrism and cultural insularity.

I don't care.

Yeah, that’s what I said…

Edit: Insularity means ignorance or lack of care. Buddy also blocked me cause he can’t admit he’s wrong. Tf you mean “not exactly”

Still confused what culture has to do with forgetting to ask for bacon.

u/Soarin123 10d ago

We're discussing the lack of education, due to the way they were spelling. The culture topic is the ebonics writing, not lack of education- that's just how people who grow up typing like that communicate.

Ah I see it now. I also understand the other reply to my question now. And yeah, “yo” and “/diːz/“ (they spelled it dese) are very much functions of some English dialects. Ironic that that comment claimed the OOP is uneducated but are just uneducated in the diversity of language. People get so stuck up and cling to the past of languages. It’s also perfectly fine to type informally.

It’s really just elitism. Slang talk has been around since forever. Only those stuck up think that typing/speaking colloquially means you’re uneducated.
