It really irks me that there are so many people in this country that can’t or won’t speak the language. Now, I’m not talking about some foreigner that’s been in the country for 2 weeks and can’t speak English very well yet. I’m talking about people who willingly and purposefully destroy the English language because they think its cool.
Major example: Ebonics. This has got to be one of the worst things thats happened to the English language since |33t. (And if you can read that word, you know exactly what Im talking about.) Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any issue with black people. I hate everyone with equal vigor. It’s nothing personal. What I hate is people who think that the marring of our countrys language makes them somehow more distinct and cooler than the rest of us. It doesn’t. It makes you sound like a total fu(k!ng moron. I mean, do people ever stop to think about the way they sound? And the only thing that sounds more ignorant than a black person using Ebonics, is a white person using Ebonics. That is truly pathetic. Someone who is so embarrassed by their own race that they will sound like an uneducated buffoon in an attempt to fit in and be cool. Give me a break.
No matter who you are, or where youre from, there is no such thing as a “hizouse”, and saying things like “I’m gonna take muh boo out in muh hooptie an get some dome” just makes you sound like a total idiot. People can not really be that stupid, can they? Intelligent people do not use this kind of language. Intelligent people are usually appalled by this kind of language. Is it really so hard to speak like you have a brain? Is it really so uncool to use the language as it was intended, and not make up nonsense words and basically create a whole nonsense language?
And don’t even get me started on leet speak. 1 ¥0µ (4|..| ®34Ð 7|-|1$, ¥0µ ®34££¥ |..|33Ð 70 937 £41Ð. Enough said. (And just for the record, I can’t write leet, I had to Google that.)
Basic point of this rant: You have a brain. Try to sound like you have a brain. Stay in school, don’t ditch your English classes. And if you’re out there gritting your teeth daily because a friend or family member uses Ebonics or Leet: Buy them a book. Convince them to help you with your English homework. Refuse to talk to them unless they speak coherent English. Or if you’re really mean, mock them incessantly until they finally get a fu(k!ng clue.
