I mean I asked and from what he told me there isn't really much more to it (disappointingly). Some people started it, now it's a thing. At least on the linguistic side.
Bascially for further reading I think anthropology or sociolgy would be more interesting is what I gathered from it.
It is also about not having very good English reading and writing skills.
Lots of businesses where I am from will put up signs and have random words or phrases “in quotations” because the people making the signs have like a 5th grade literacy level. It’s about how poorly educated these people are as much as some sociolect.
I honestly think it's because most people literally don't fucking read. It's not a boomer thing, I've seen a few managers at the places I work write like this or rather you can see how someone winds up writing like this. Imagine getting an already shitty education, working retail for 20 years and never nourishing your mind with anything but Arby's and binge drinking (nothing wrong with that TBH in light of how shitty retail is) and in like that time your English is just going to be fucked
oh yeah very true. my language skills are way worse than when i was younger and reading a bunch of books all the time. now it's just arby's and binge drinking. at least i practice typing on hexbear dot net! :fedposting: lol
