got 2 agree with that!!!! every kid talks with a jamacan accent/slang around my area

even the english and asian kids. sometimes have to ask the indian boys around my area if their parents talk with jamacan accents and they reply with the deepest voice "NAA BLUD, NAA BLUD, JUS HOW DA MANDEM TALK SO MAN PICK IT UP.... U GET ME...
but have to say when txts costs 10p a txt it is useful to shorten words even when u have to think about it and it takes a bit longer but for work, formal things always write proper english!
