There’s also an element of performance to it. I know a good few folk who speak in pretty standard English but post on social media like a character from an Irvine Welsh novel. Edit: Apologies - I mean, “Ah ken a loaday cunts who speak la-di-da in the hoose but oan Twitter they’re fucken Begbie fae Trainspotting.”

It’s like saying comfterbull instead of comfortable. Or Worstsherr instead of Worchestershire. Or even simpler the common Wanna instead of want to.

Scottish Twitter is cool for language and identity reasons, and also hilarious: https://theface.com/society/yer-da-sells-avon-how-the-scots-language-found-a-new-home-on-twitter http://theconversation.com/how-twitter-is-helping-the-scots-language-thrive-in-the-21st-century-121783

Scots is a legitimate dialect/language. It's less daft than American spelling reform.

If Dril makes money on his tweets nbd. Its the fact that, even if it is behind latex, he is a real person. It’s like if Paul Rudd was somehow Dril. I like Paul Rudd. I like Dril. I don’t want them to be the same person. It ruins the mystique. Two good things together don’t always equal one bigger, better thing. Like cake and olives.

I did not find the dril trailer funny at all, but his tweets have been absolute loving genius for years and years, so I hope they cut him a fat check.

There's an entire generation of young adults right now who don't remember how bugfuck US culture got and how Global Politics shifted hard after 9/11. Education is extremely important.

Education is extremely important. We need to check what the acceptable age to learn about these things is. If these children and young adults are deemed too old, we should make fun of them instead.
