WTF? no one writes like this:

The message reads:

Translation:
"I was so jacked up last night. I scored some crack at the party so I'd have it for tonight and tomorrow, and then Jimmy took off with it, the [expletive]! I am all jittery and need to meet up with you tonight after my parents think i am asleep. Can you meet me at Bojangle's at midnight just for a few minutes? I just need a little and I can pay you back on Monday, I promise."

 

You don't go into the TL subforum then.

 

^^^ hahaha....

Kids do talk/type like that when they dont want others to read it.

 

That's how I talk. I call New Ebonics.


But I write "normal".

 

Need a side job? I also read that the FBI needs Ebonics translators.

 

those types usually get ran off within a week or two..

not sure which generation is the culprit here though.
