I understand the use of jargon and a bit of slang for the sake of shortening you sentences, but this is simply stupid. I'm sorry, but I've heard "Where you at?" one too many times while attending college. SPEAK ENGLISH OR DON"T SPEAK AT ALL! I would even settle if you spoke french or spanish or any other language, just for the love of God and all things good and cute and furry (like baby chipmunks) in this world, speak it correctly!!!

Ummmm. Colloquial conversation? Like you said, it's not a requirement to speak absolute perfect english every speaking moment.
Where you at isn't ebonic .. it's just convenient. Most of the time it's even correct, being "where're you at" slurred together.
