oh, there are always going to be dialects that are bizzare, no question about it. but at least those dialects (normally) know how to spell, understand that grammar is in fact a thing that exists, and have some sort of functioning phonics system. They're also (normally) confined to a fairly small geographic area. Everywhere I've been in the US has zero understanding of or desire to have any of that. Public schools teach stuff that's just WRONG, and if i hear something like the following one more time...:
"mom, how do you spell ____?"
"just sound it out honey"
*my littlest sister proceeds to do so, then gets reprimanded for spelling something horribly wrong*
or by grandmother, a public school teacher, who is constantly finding horrible spelling/grammar errors in the school's textbooks.....
god i hate this language. >_<
