(Anonymous) 2018-03-26 02:15 am (UTC)(link)Sure, it's a style, but if it's the only style a poster ever uses, I'm going to be getting an impression from them that they're not anyone I really need to take seriously. Or will enjoy talking to for very long because damn, do I find it cutesy and repetitive and tiresome.
I understand the concept of dialects and code-switching just fine, written as well as spoken. I absolutely get that sometimes deliberate misspellings and weird grammar can be used for humorous or dramatic effect. The problem comes in when I start to suspect that they really don't know how to spell that word or what it really means, because I never see them use it correctly.
Also, word creep and "meaning changes" can be really insidious and harmful. There are whole areas of fandom Tumblr where "pedophile" has come to mean "draws teenage cartoon characters kissing." So now we don't actually have a word that means "pedophile" anymore in that context. See how that could be a BIG problem?
