Who said Ebonics is the only kind of nonstandard English????

	Watch for these Telltale signs that your children are learning
Dweebonics::

They tilt their heads sideways to smile; When you ground them, they say:
Your UI could really uses some work..;

They say: My Dad can Beat Your Dad at Quake;

Instead of laughing they say: LOL;

They insult kids by saying, And you've got limited bandwidth!!!;

They change the answering machine message to: BRB, leave your URL, and
well TTYL!!;

This is how they ask someone out on a date: Ummm, uh, well.... seeya!;

Calling from camp, your homesick child says, I'm roaming outside my
service area!; 

When you ask if they've finished their book report, they say, Its in beta,
but itll ship in time!!;

Youre telling them something they dont want to hear.  They're saying, NAK,
NAK, NAK the wholetime.....
