I was wit her… I seen him…. Where is she “at”… Anyways…. Prolly…. People are just deciding to ignore all rules of grammar and language. It’s funny… When I interview folks for a job and they display a total disregard for, or lack of knowledge in, the language I just politely usher them out the door and toss their resume. I can’t hire folks who represent our company in such an illiterate manner. Hearing them speak is like running your nails down a blakboard.

I don’t know….some people just like to slurrr their words, and some even think it’s cool!

Like for example……

Can I go ‘wit’ you to the store?

I let my kids know right off hand that ‘wit’ is not a word!

I mean I know what it means, but it just don’t sound nice in my opinion!
