Me as a teen;
Him; “hey you.”
Me; “hey.”
“What’s up?”
“Nm wbu?”
“Nm.”
“Sooo.” “What?”
“Idk lol.”
The very deep conversations lmao. They still do this as adults?! 😂😂😭

But now it's "heyyyy" because they are still dumb and lazy.

[–]Eldest_MuseFDS Newbie15 points16 points17 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
The way it should be! We are trying to get to know each other and you type "nm wbu"... You're too dumb to even formulate or even be bothered to type a whole sentence? Pish! Stop wasting my time. Even during the pandemic, LVM are coming out of the bushes with "new" numbers to avoid being blocked. Go away.

I’m low key laughing my ass off at the fucking accuracy but how I sincerely thought this was romance in my teens 😭😂 “sorry fell asleep on you there” always texting me that shit the next day. Did my effort and your laziness make you sleepy?
Women are too smart and wholesome for low effort. their low effort is lame!
If you’re an adult STILL typing “nm wbu” I’m just going to say to that man “don’t bother texting me then!”
Tell them you’re going to hext them or something for low effort.

Lmao back when an ex and I broke up, I was texting this guy from work for a while. He will STILL ping me shit like this now during work, despite having a live in girlfriend.
When I don’t respond for 5 minutes “sorry. Wow embarrassed”.
Go do your work.

How sad is that wherein we are all being "hit up" during a god damn pandemic? As for the lazy texter, don't even bother replying! They couldn't be bothered to formulate a full sentence and used acronyms you most likely had to look up and waste time on instead of speaking like a normal person, well there you have it. If you are not worth their time for even a full reply then just block and delete. Don't waste time with even snappy quips. They don't care and neither should you 😘

I used to judge myself for this grammar police and spelling police behavior, but then I realized it's just like any other preference. If it really irks me, then I have the right to not be attracted. It's as shallow or not shallow as going for a specific physical type. Articulate men are just super attractive, especially when their words match their actions 😄

And let’s be real: if the man lacks basic grammar knowledge, you’re going to be the default tutor for your children. Call me a grammar nazi all you want but this is a hard pass.
Also, it’s really not that hard to be able to figure out the difference between their, there, and they’re etc. if the man knows he’s lacking in these areas and still hasn’t figured it out then he’s inherently low value.

Not to be THAT bitch, but when you say it's "racist and class-discriminatory" to judge someone for their shitty grammar, you're basically saying that most people of color are inherently incapable of being well-written and high class, and shouldn't be held to the same standards we'd hold the average white person to.
Which is basically white supremacy with a liberal coat of paint.
[–]daisy_0720FDS Disciple9 points10 points11 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
As someone who taught English as a second language, I actually found that non-native speakers were actually more concerned about having good grammar because they wanted to get it right and not make mistakes.
These white fuckboys are just lazy and low effort.

"I went to a poor school and I'm fine, so indisputable racial implications shouldn't be discussed." -- this discussion thread
Yikes, ladies! We're better than this! The comic is about women's willingness to consider their own bias and the larger cultural ramifications of our choices, so it's HELLA ironic to shoot down the argument without nuanced discussion.

I know it’s judgmental but I still would turn down someone who lacked a basic understanding of grammar. I understand that not everyone had access to a good education but I prefer people who did. I can’t be with someone who I cannot trust to write an email without embarrassing me.
[–]juliannawackenhatFDS Newbie22 points23 points24 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
This is really the point, that it’s okay to “judge” someone based on their grammar. If we’re choosing what we want and refusing to settle, proper grammar can absolutely be a showstopper. The fact that this turned into a race vs education thing is ridiculous.
And for everyone saying I shouldn’t brag about my lack of diversity, have you checked out the demographics of MIAMI? Because that’s where I’ve spent the bulk of my life. Even ESOL students in the worst areas of Dade County can still use proper grammar. It’s a personal choice. Some people care about such things; others don’t. I’m only interested in dating the men who do. And for you guys to assume that it means I haven’t been around “people of color” and am somehow excluding people from my dating pool based on “white supremacy” (because that’s the comment that got this all started) has some freaking racial undertones in and of itself.
[–]VivaLaSeaFDS Newbie4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I didn’t read all the comments so I didn’t know it was a race vs education thing. But that makes no sense to me as anyone of any race can have good or bad grammar. I’ve dated (not relationship just gone out on dates/talked to) men of all races and economic backgrounds and race has never been a defining factor on who had good grammar and who didn’t. I’ve dated hood dudes who had better grammar than Kyle in the wealthy suburbs.

You can have poor spelling and grammar and still manage to shine if you’re intent on impressing a partner. I don’t think the comic is directed at men who are otherwise great but only spell things wrong.

I definitely agree with you. But it could also be how they deny people access to jobs and higher education because of that. Like with standardized testing in grade school. If a student didn't do well in English then they would be put in middle school or held back. Which may contribute to the school to prison pipeline.

I mean I personally would take this advice with a grain of salt.

Not saying this is everyone, but in my opinion it doesn't matter so much lol.

So, you’re saying your anecdotal evidence outweighs all the statistical analysis and studies on the subject? I just want to make sure I am understanding correctly.
I came from a very impoverished family, went to the poorest districts but my writing and reading abilities are not the norm for the kids I grew up with.
It’s easy to say “well, I had it rough and I turned out fine”. It makes those people who managed to beat the odds feel better, it is entirely ignorant of the realities; as it makes you feel better it places blame on those still in lacking the same skills as you.
ETA: I very clearly specified in my first comment I wasn’t relating this to dating, so I never suggested you give them the time.

[–]BrownEyed-SusanFDS Newbie13 points14 points15 points 5 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Oh, yes, something else will be blamed. Nobody ever takes responsibility, it has nothing to do with any socioeconomic factors.
I do not care if you feel insulted by it whatsoever, to be honest. You’re reinforcing exactly what I said, it makes you feel better as if you accomplished something but others didn’t. It’s just another “I pulled myself up by the bootstraps why can’t you.”
It does not insinuate people of color and poor people are inherently lacking intelligence, I find it odd you came to that conclusion. It states we are lacking resources and are weighed down by external factors. These are the facts, and just because you disagree doesn’t outweigh the facts.
It isn’t simple to everyone. I believe it is simple to understand anecdotal evidence doesn’t outweigh well researched peer reviewed studies but I understand you may not.
Congratulations on winning the statistical lottery.

[–]eatitupbbFDS Newbie2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
think of it like this... you’re doing a prank show where you jump out at people walking down the street. will everyone react the same? no. some people will punch you, some people will jump, some people will run, some people will laugh, and some people will freeze.
now let’s apply this to a broad concept: even with all things equal, teaching a concept one way will not be understood or perceived the same by everyone.
then add in natural talents for some people to things like sports, math, art, music, history, biology, language, debate, etc. some people are good at memorizing which works really well in american education systems, and someone else might be terrible at memorizing but would excel in socratic environments which don’t really exist in american k-12 schooling.
now add in: less school funding due to less property taxes, white flight, jim crow/segregation, racism, high student to teacher ratio, turbulent home life, food insecurity, housing insecurity, two working parents, war on drugs targeting black people (look up nixon’s advisor), and just plain being unlucky. yes, luck has a big impact - americans often attribute to skill what they should attribute to dumb luck.
let’s put it all together: you can understand how people don’t all succeed in the same way despite their very best efforts. you would be foolish to expect people with vastly different perspectives, skills, emotional reactions, resiliency, coping mechanisms, access to resources, schools, home lives, healthcare, beliefs/values, life experiences, intergenerational trauma, connections, and learning styles to respond to life just the way you did. and why would they? they aren’t you.
your perspective also shifts the burden from the system and its failures to people not working hard enough. surely, many people have worked much harder than you and do not have the same results (e.g., migrant farm workers, people in war torn countries).

Grammar has nothing to do with being intelligent and it is in no way a mark of intelligence. As you’ve pointed out, people from all walks of life will butcher the proper usage of grammar. Developing a broad understanding of grammar comes from lots of reading and writing, which of course are very important, but not doing these things doesn’t make you stupid. There’s lots of different ways people can be intelligent. Not everyone from lower economic backgrounds have access to a wide variety of books or even the internet.
People use grammar as a pompous way to act holier-than-thou for pretty much no reason other than to appear smarter than the other person. It doesn’t add anything remotely interesting or enlightening to a conversation when it is brought up.

I agree with you on this, but wasn't trying to imply that not knowing grammar = stupidity. I was merely questioning the meme, which implied that not knowing grammar is a result of white supremacy and classism.
I was only trying to make a point that it's been the opposite experience for me, as most of the people I know (all of us black/POC and either lower middle class-poor, from horrid school systems) knowing the difference between "you're" and "your", while most of those who tend to flub these words are white and from supposedly "good schools". I was speaking of my life's experience, which may not be as important as statistics to some, but just as valid from where I stand.
I do thank you for being respectful in disagreeing with me, btw.
[–]BrownEyed-SusanFDS Newbie2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
That’s not all you were saying. You literally did not speak just for your experience when you said there was no excuse for an adult not to know these differences. You were judging people based on yourself, and those you know.
If you had just kept it at your experiences I wouldn’t have responded the way I did.
ETA: and for the record, I’m black. I absolutely was not saying all black people or people are unintelligent.
[–]PanzramsTransAmFDS Newbie2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I don’t think the meme was saying that, in my opinion. My take on it is that the woman knows that judging someone based on their understanding of grammar is a poor way to infer someone’s intelligence, and she was kicking herself for being turned off by that. I love grammar and the English language because I’m an avid reader and a writer, but I find that grammar is used as a tool to discriminate others. A white man in power can certainly make a multitude of grammatical errors in his emails, but a person of lesser means would never be afforded the same luxury on a resume or a college admittance essay. That’s what makes grammar inherently classist, from my point of view at least.

It also depends on if your parents read to you, are educated, and have the time and energy to help you learn. Systemic racism creates communities where black families are working so hard to make ends meet or addicted to drugs/in the school to prison pipeline where black children are less likely to have the advantages white kids have even before they get on the school bus.

Hello, thanks for your respectful reply.
I'm cognizant of the consequences of systemic racism (I'm black, grew up in a single parent home). I was only disagreeing with the meme because it contradicted much of my life's experiences, and that of the people I know.
[+]juliannawackenhatFDS Newbie-18 points-17 points-16 points 5 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link
Nope, didn’t occur to me. But then again I was raised in a city with exactly two black people. Went to public school and sat through the same English classes as my peers, and judging by their social media posts, most of them weren’t paying attention. Everything isn’t a god damn race issue.
[–]BrownEyed-SusanFDS Newbie26 points27 points28 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You were raised in a city with exactly two Black students and don’t realize perhaps your opinion might be skewed. Inner city schools receive less funding, have far larger classrooms, children are often underfed, don’t get proper sleep and come from homes where there isn’t much stability. These conditions and more make paying attention in school difficult. There is more to education than grade school level Language Arts and I suggest you explore it.
No, not everything is a “goddamn race issue” but some things are, and it’s not just a race issue but an issue of classicism as well. I’m not sure how difficult it is to take a few moments of your time to look any of this up.
[–]PanzramsTransAmFDS Newbie14 points15 points16 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
She’s absolutely correct here. Everything isn’t in such extremes that either every boy wasn’t paying attention or they came from an impoverished background. The majority of dumbass men we encounter are just too lackadaisical to use proper grammar. It’s not like they don’t know it.
I live in a city with one of the worst school districts in the entire country that is also underfunded and understaffed. There are students that make it to high school without learning how to read or write, and the majority of those students are black or brown. Hell, when I was in high school (in this same school district), I was reading a book for fun in my free period and the girl next to me was curious about it. We talked about reading a little more, and she admitted to me that she had never finished a book before in her life. We’re talking about someone who was 16-years-old. I was dumbfounded. I asked her, not even a picture book? No. Not even Green Eggs & Ham. She said there are no books in her family’s home. This is unfortunately not an uncommon thing to encounter. I have countless stories like that from people I met in my area.
We have a terrible education system in the United States, and unfortunately, lots of children get left behind along the way. I’m privileged to come from a family that valued my education, so I didn’t have to rely solely on what was being taught to me in school. My parents made sure I read books diligently and they made me do learning workbooks over my summer breaks. A lot of underprivileged children don’t have parents that are able or willing to do that, and when they go to a school that is unable to teach them these things either, they suffer immensely. It’s easier to just keep a kid moving forward than to teach a middle schooler how to read for the first time.
[–]quiteshall0wFDS Newbie0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I come from a white country with no background of race wars within the last few centuries. A lot of men are also incredibly illiterate. Straight up refusing to digest middle school course. Some think studying well is a womanly thing and everything womanly is automatically inferior. Teachers and professors are also more lenient towards male students.
Isn't even a question of learning disabilities because there are free resources to diagnose and aid people who have them. Not an opt-in thing either, because your kids get mandatory checks in pediatric office and elementary school. School and university system is literally free for all citizens and the course is the same across the country. First 9 years of school are actually mandatory and your parents would be punished if they refuse to give them to you.
Even if we take race out of the equation, this issue still persists. There are other factors in other cultures, such as child marriage. But at least for people from my culture, I 100% would judge by literacy.
[–]PizzaPigeonFDS Newbie6 points7 points8 points 5 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Maybe some children had additional needs or special needs that have gone unchecked, because their families couldn't afford diagnosis or treatment due to poverty.
I grew up in an extremely poor area. In poor areas schools are underfunded, teachers understandably don't want to be there, health care is expensive, child protection is overworked and underpaid. It results in many children falling through the cracks. Either missing diagnosis for things like Dyslexia, ADHD, ASD, or children being left in abusive/neglectful homes where their parents don't educate them outside of school. You do then also have parents who are working extremely long hours to have enough money, meaning they usually don't have time to educate outside of school. School can only do so much.
Thankfully for me my parents really cared about me learning. They would encourage me to read books to them, go over homework, explain things to me, check my writing and spelling. But not everyone has that.
Edit: On top of this I'm sure there are people who just don't care about their spelling. Language changes over time, like how actor is used for men and women. Or guys is used not just for men. Most people don't use the Oxford comma anymore. I was taught to write in cursive and a lot of people don't write in cursive. Not capitalising the first letter in a sentence is quite common online now too...

Since this is actually a thread about grammar and not racism, I’ll point out that Black should not be capitalized in this context. Since you’re a teacher, I’d certainly expect you to know that.
And of course I’m around black people. I have access to all the same “woke” information and news that you have and live in a literal melting pot of ethnicities and races, and I still don’t believe using correct grammar is a race issue. Let’s just agree to disagree and move on.
[–]ThunderofHipHipposFDS Apprentice0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Black is a descriptive adjective that serves the function of a proper adjective, thus it should be capitalized.
For example, "Asian" is a proper adjective since it is based on the root word Asia, which is a proper noun. "Black" is typically a descriptive adjective, but in the context of describing race or ethnicity it is serving the role of a proper adjective. Hence capitalization.
The more you know!
