Sure, but then the Stormzy sounding young man is far more likely to get work in other industries - as has always been the case. You just prefer one because it’s been around longer. Yes, that booming area of rap groups. Thousands of them everywhere. Name me other prosperous employment where a Stormzy sounder would get the job over thousands of disappointed others.

You’re splitting hairs to defend your position IMO - the point stands that there are tons of sub cultures who have their own style of speaking; debating the specifics of rhyming slang or TOWIE doesn’t change that. I agree that street talk has a long way to go before it is as broadly accepted as something like Essex, but my argument is that it should be every bit as accepted, certainly in social situations. The negative stigma attached to it stems from, in my opinion, an ignorance about that particular sub-culture. Their chance will have been and gone if it’s ever accepted like other accents, and in today’s world they’re in competition with not only young adults from all over Britain but all over the world. Up to them.

This thread does prove the irony of accusations.

You must’ve heard the ‘street’ sound. Maybe you haven’t if you don’t hear it on tv or speak to many people in shops in city centres and you live in a rural area where the young people will get the better office professional jobs in any city where there’s a street accent. Make no mistake about that.

If I don't like something, why is it important that I like it? As for this ignorance argument.....seriously is that what you think? Edited by Stirlingsays (13 Feb 2019 10.55am)

You’ve made some ludicrous points on this thread which I had opted not to ridicule - I don’t think it’s too much to ask for you to do the same; generally it’s the approach of someone who’s position is looking more nonsensical by the minute. There are many industries where this type of culture is now the dominant one; tv, radio, sport, social media/YouTube and that’s now spreading to more general marketing and advertising roles. I won’t mention retail and food industries as you’ve already made clear your thoughts on people who chose to make a living that way. Aside from general corporate roles, and traditional manual jobs, I don’t think it is considered a hindersnce anywhere - employment is rapidly changing beyond the traditional suit and tie office environment.

Edited by Stirlingsays (13 Feb 2019 10.55am) You’ve replaced accepted with liked, which is not the same thing - you don’t have to like anything, but you should accept someone’s right to speak how they want to - I don’t think anyone actually disagrees on that. The ignorance point is entirely what I believe, yes.

Sounds like you’re losing traction, fella. Yep, those industries you list employ hundreds of thousands of people. And you’re talking about ridiculing my points. I didn’t give any opinion on food and retail. I just said I don’t want to be served by someone sounding like that. In customer service you serve. It is your problem there, not mine. And actually I do t think many choose supermarkets or fast food due to the pay. They end up in them, hence a lot of my points. But carry on.

The ignorance point is entirely what I believe, yes. I grew up in Brixton, I went to school with people like this. I come from that community. So perhaps you need to refine your view on ignorance. Not liking something doesn't mean you are in ignorance about it. Are the people who speak with these accents in 'ignorance' of other ways of speaking? No, most of them aren't. So by calling people ignorant, isn't that just your own way of insulting people with views you don't like and inferring that not 'accepting' something is some sort of issue?

A lot of people in the UK, are ignorant to street/urban culture - what exactly is difficult about that? You, as an individual, might not be - good for you.

Well no, I was specifically talking about not ridiculing your points. There will soon be far more people employed in social media than there are mechanics, if that’s not the case already.
