dystopiate makes an incomprehensible post in grammar_whores accusing black people "of varrying complexions" of having bad grammar "on purpose."

Is being black an excuse for terrible grammar? They do it on purpose. I mean, i to sound racist; that's not what i mean. I'm not against slang, by any means. Which particular words, phrases, even pronunciations on chooses to use

Holy missing words, Batman!

Yes, boys and girls, the ability to use correct grammar is now encoded in your DNA, just like race is!

[crushdmb]

Unless, of course, you're white and make a post on LiveJournal regarding "bad black grammar".

[boobalah]

Exactly, we whitiey always have impeccable grammar, regardless of what language we speak--we're born that way!

[crushdmb]

Even if your grammar actually sucks monkey balls.

Uh, that was a painful post to read, if only because of their horrible grammar!

Yay, I can ask this here so I don't show my ignorance there... of course here may not be any better depending.

Anyway, I'm curious what is wrong with using "Perhaps" in the comment you replied to? I might be missing something but, it seems fine to me.

[crushdmb]

Oh, I was talking about "your" instead of "you're".

Which even *I* occasionally eff up, as a typo rather than ignorance, and I'm a stickler for such things, even when drunk!

[druid_va]

Ok, that makes it worse... you're doing it on purpose aren't you?

This is the comment I was talking about,

"Perhaps proof your writing"

It should be your, not you're right?

[lemonsherry]

ughhhh.

Okay, you know the grammar is particularly awful when even the OP can't figure out what s/he originally meant to say!
