6. Tch, it’s better than some of the shit I’ve heard in class by some black girls who’ve pronounced it, ‘burfday.’ I swear to fucking god, where the hell did you pick up that language from? Shit! God, I hate those people who are so ignorant to the English language, that it’s almost like they’re making a whole new one themselves. Such as, phrases like, ‘isyuko?’ (Are you cold?)

   Burn the stupids, goddammit.

7. There’s nothing wrong with spoken dialects, Foolys. If you want to use the internet to sound off against minorities I’m sure there are plenty of sites that would tolerate it. This isn’t one of them.
