Poor grammer doesn't necessarily bother me. If a person doesn't get the concept of the rules of grammer, that at least can be overlooked due to their possibly not understanding them. People usually fall into two categories...those that are exceptional in grammer and those that are exceptional in math. I for one cannot do math without the use of a calculator or at least my fingers. I can basically count, do simple addition and subtraction. Anything beyond that and it might take me some time to work it out. I have no number retention whatsoever.
But people who purposely talk in slang just for the sake of talking in slang is another issue altogether. If you plan on having a conversation with me, please talk to me in plain English because I may not be current on the latest verbal trends. That way I can understand what you are talking about and I don't have to guess as to what you are trying to say and save us both a lot of time.
This reminds me of that scene in "Airplane" where June Cleavor says to the stewardess: "Miss I speak Jive" and begins to translate the two guys speaking in "jive" (while the English subtitles scroll on the screen).
