I see it validated more and more as official language not just spoken, but written. It's just slang, and slang has never been considered proper, communicative English except for the young idiots who spoke it. It denotes pure ignorance. Normalizing it makes us all stupider.

Word, he said ironically.

But I would never argue that my saying "Word" was anything except outdated, trendy patois. It wouldn't go into a professional document, or serious school essay.

Nothing you just said is wrong.

I accept any dialect spoken.

Written is a whole other ball game. AAVE, Cajun, street, teen slang, Boston accents, etc. are completely unacceptable in written form. Sorry, not sorry.

90% of every viral tweet I see is in "They worried about shawty," or something to that effect. Basic rules of English, our common tongue, ignored. Sometimes it's so convoluted my ancient brain has to spend time deciphering it. You say something about it, you get called racist.

I know why old people get angry. Over time, we hoped to see things get better. People getting smarter, universe becoming more idiot-proof. Except the joke is the universe also keeps producing better idiots.

It's frustrating.

Old head get mad.

The first five minutes of Idiocracy gets less funny the more I think about it.

The funny troll account I mentioned previously took a break to discuss who is the easiest to troll:

Education - The easiest people to troll are (1) Those academia and those with advanced degrees, particularly those who list their degrees in their Twitter bio;
I wrote an essay 1-2 decades ago that capital-I Intellectuals were idiots, in many ways.

The attack isn't funny. The fact it got Polamalu trending is.

I don't want her to do any of this stuff to me. But I would consider her "violently sexy". That make sense?

I've met these people. Dating app pics are the sales pitch, 4 foot wide hips are the reality.
