I see nothing wrong with the youth of today using slang- it's all part of the adolesence years. The problem starts when they start to emmerge and they can no longer construct sentences that a wider audience can comprehend.

@ K: What is talking intelligently?? is it not the content of what is being said that decides whether or not what was said is intelligent? Also who are we (the supposedly older ones) to say that becuase a young person uses phrases which we did not use means that what they have to say is any less intelligent than ours?


The only problem i have with it is when i have to spend time re-reading my cousin's emails and txts to get the gist of what is being said. But that's not a dig at her but at the gap in generation between us.


culturally aware, spiritually grounded and beautifully unique
