first of all, im a nerd.
on a music downloading forum, somebody posted this on a bulletin about the Lost official soundtrack:
"who the fuck listens 2 a soundtrack for dis shit? lol @ yall lames, prolly white"
the best response was:
" I'd agree, although there's nothing wrong with the African American dialect of English where initial voiced dental fricatives shift to voiced alveolar stops, i.e this -> dis. Presumably the poster was merely representing this sound change orthographically. "
ben, much? anthony?
