Spelling is a different beast and also lol re: your humble brag.

[(Anonymous)]

Both are examples of mistakes that some people try to pass off as "acceptable regional variations" is my point. It's no more appropriate to say "oh, that's just how people say it where I'm from" than it is to say "oh, I'm terrible at spelling", rather than put in a little bit of effort. Common errors from ignorance or laziness are not the same things as regional variations, and they shouldn't be treated as such.

Not a humble brag. If anything, a totally proud brag. My working-class family sacrificed A LOT to give me an education, and they would be pissed as hell if they thought I threw that opportunity away by insisting I should sound uneducated when I talk to my colleagues just to stay true to my ~roots. OP isn't saying that no characters should ever talk a particularly way. They are simply pointing out that it is expected for someone to speak a certain way (even if it is code-switching) to "fit in" in different contexts.

And yes, I know I have at least one typo in there. Because I was lazy and didn't proofread it, because I couldn't care less (could care less? Hmm, let's do a regional poll) about writing perfectly in this context.
