In other words, devolving.

Seriously, I think everyone 25 and younger honestly doesn't care if they misuse "you're / your" and the like.  

Basically it's hip to look dumb.

exactly... we're not exactly speaking Shakespearan English over here anymore.  In fact we speak Anglongics... you only find it acceptable because it's white people breaking the rules.

And it will be the main story on Hannity in a few days, and make the rounds on all the conservative talk shows...

Good thing O' Reilly's no longer on the air or we'd have endure the "War on English".

I love these articles/threads.

Some lower-tier  "professor" somewhere comes up with a goofy idea and people get all worked up over it.

It's even worse.  My reading of the article is that this was a undergrad working on a project for college.

I'm pretty sure the grammatical rules for that dialect have been firmly established for years.
