I'm tired of hearing people on cell phones saying "Where you at?". WTF, thats not even a proper sentence. Ugh. What you mean to say is "Where are you at?"

Please learn to speak.

The only time I have ever heard anyone say, "Where you at?" is from black folks on their cellphones at Wally World.
I am tired of hearing the response "Naw." Naw=No.

Yes, please learn to speak.

The proper sentence would be "Where are you?"

NOT "Where are you at?"

You don't end sentences with a preposition. That's from a simple 3rd grade English grammar lesson.

"WTF, thats not even a proper sentence"

- That's not even a proper sentence actually. It's a fragment.
- It should be "that's" with an apostrophe between the t and the s.

"Ugh."

- That's not a proper sentence as well.

"What you mean to say is "Where are you at?""

- You did not use a period at the end of that, making it improper.
