You are the one sounding ignorant here. Categorizing those who do not mesh with the customs of your social circle as ignorant.

This has nothing to do with customs (granted name calling is pretty lame on his part). But, it's about speaking proper english -it's an integral part of our scholastic system for a reason.

people arent always ina scholastic environment. As long as who i'm talking to understands me, pricks like the OP can shut the fvck up.

You have every right to speak like an ignorant fool. Shame on the OP for telling you that you shouldn't.

Please learn to speak.

I hate when people say ugh. Learn how to speak without using grunts. ;)

Really? I live in NC (which I'd consider "the south" ;) ) and I haven't heard that one. But I have heard of "Hella this and Hella that". :D
