Oh my God!
Do we need to start a new thread about this? The last page and a half is people bitching about capitals and periods!
Hulk:
I enjoy your threads, but I didn't read a lick of the above post because I can imagine it's a book report on Marley's grammar. Yes, I realize there's an irony in my writing style vis a vis the subject matter here, but is it really that much of a disturbance? If you were having this conversation with a friend, would you stop them at every mispronounced or incorrectly used word and say "Hey, we're talking about education, you have to display yours perfectly"?
Once again, I believe that, with few exceptions, my words are all that are needed to orchestrate my point; anything beyond that is personal preference.
For the last time, if it's that important, ignore me. Just because you don't like the way I write (or discredit what i say) doesn't mean others do. Obviously somebody's getting my point: you can't say they're not just because you don't!
And if you do get what I'm saying, what's the big fucking deal? These aren't articles for the New York Times I'm writing, and they're not essays for college.
I developed this style from my parents who went to church or company picnics and dressed up their linguistics, then came home and let their hair down and spoke with all the inflections associated with Ebonics. I write the way I do because i don't think i'm talking to college professors and editorial managers. For the most part I'm talking to friends who don't care more about what I say other than how I say it.
The fact that you have chosen to make this a racial thing shows the paucity of either your premise or your intellect.
I, for one, am highly offended that you'd suggest that I am insensitive to your point of view simply because I refuse to recognize lazy typing and a poor grasp of paragraph structure as the written equivalent of Ebonics.
And, no...just because we're part of the same on-line community does not make us "friends". And equally no...I will not censor LPSG in any fashion by putting you on ignore.
May I suggest that you actually read the criticism along with the high-fives? You might just continue your education.
