Ah, OP drinks wine and quotes Baudelaire. The difference between a well education person and a pompous individual is how many obscure/ partially well known historical figures they can cite.
Tell me, does all your flannel and ill fitting English prose make you itch?0 -

I like tripe as long as it's fried with a little egg, flour and salt.
Political correctness is the bane of our society, hence I have become a smartass.0 -
U b try'n hard 2 b smart n stuf
^ are you referring to sentences such as this OP? If you are then I would argue that this sentence is a lovely example of a dialect common to the social media culture, and that it contains unique grammatical and phonological rules. For example, the use of the number 2 to replace the word "to" is an amusing and easily understood substitution if you are involved in the culture. Also, the phoneme 'n after 'try' infers present tense of a verb, and "U b" is grammatically understood to be equivalent to "you are" as used in the English language. I am not nearly as proficient as this poster, as I have been guilty of combining different dialects and languages in one sentence. Now, that is offensive.0 -

OP belongs on /r/iamverysmart.
I'm an English major. As such, I recognize that the way most people write is different based on the context. I'm not going to speak to you using high language and stiff prose on a forum. I also know that language evolves. People probably thought Shakespeare was an uppity asshat at first, making up crazy words like "upstairs", "zany", and "buzzer".
Also, take a second and read this: http://www.n2growth.com/blog/is-your-intellect-an-asset-or-liability/
I honestly think you could benefit from it.
This is all assuming that you aren't just a troll. If you are, then:

--because "yolo, y'know"?
Here's a thought: If you only live once, why not learn a proper language? Such as English.

Way to take a hard line stance against the lowest hanging fruit. I'm gonna take a wild guess that you also have strong feelings about the Kardashians.
So much work to mock dumb teenagers.
^^^ That was what I was thinking.
OP, the truly intellectual already know that it is pointless to tell the stupid that they are stupid.
But let me walk away from this thread before I do something pointles...

1. There is no "proper" language, and for you to say that Enlgish is one is awfully ****ty
