Writing should be held to at least some
comprehensible form of writing. It takes just as much energy to type "going" as it does to type "goin'," yet one looks remarkably more intelligent than the other. So why not at least
seem like you're intelligent, and go the effort of writing complete words?
Let's not forget capitalization and punctuation. God knows that it's insanely difficult to begin a sentence with a capital word and end it with a period. Additionally, what happened to punctuating words that imply ownership with apostraphes?
A small lesson: "holla" is not a word. "Y'all" is not a word. "ish" is not a word - he's a member of the #massassi chat room. "Affectin" is not a word. "Likin" is not a word.
Slang has its place in
casual speaking, and
casual speaking alone. It allows the conveyance of ideas at greater speed, but at a cost of looking less-than-intelligent when you speak it in such great magnitudes that your statements are reduced to incomprehensible, *******ized forms of the language that you claim to speak.
Disclaimer: A typo here and there is completely excusable. But when someone types, "Are we affectin ya'll so much by likin rap," it just looks unintelligent.
Second Disclaimer: I like some rap. This post is not influenced by a dislike of rap.
