Bad grammar is something that drives me insane, really. Does no one ever proof read their posts or comments? I do let a lot slide because I know that people are trying to do things quickly to pack the most stuff into their little bit of blog love time, but please proof read your posts. Please?
I have felt for a long time that kids do not have any idea how to actually compose a proper paragraph, much less a sentence these days. And with the advent of text messaging and most everything else associated with the digital age, they apparently don't feel they need to do so anyway. Why they were even going to teach Ebonics {a made up street "language" that is "spoken" by many African-Americans and thought to be a real cultural "tradition"} in some Northern California school districts!
I sent this over to Trisha at MomDot because she was razzed last year about the grammar, or lack thereof, in her blog posts. She got this posted up before I did. DRATS! But because not every one of my readers visits either MomDot or LadyStyx, I decided I would post it as well. I think it's hilarious and quite clever. I hope you enjoyed it.
Imagine my surprise when I visited LadyStyx's blog this morning and found this little ditty by Sister Salad. I was laughing so hard, I almost peed my pants.

Ebonics, Text Speak, Abbreviations. Does No One Use Proper Grammar Anymore?
