altimixdj,
Truce? I think we may have to agree to disagree. I see the primary language issue having nothing to do with laziness however I see you are not trying to insult anyone here. It's certainly something that we should all think about given the always growing number of immigrants to the US. I once read an article in Newsweek that was questioning who's version of English is more 'right'? After all, the countries and populations that speak English have grown significantly throughout the ages of Imperialism. When a language is forced upon a population can we really say how they are allowed to speak it? There may become a day where there are more non-standard speakers than standard speakers. That will be something!
But for now, no hard feelings...just some good old intellectual debate.

No truce needed. I didn't see war being declared. I enjoy small talks like this. I do not have a closed-mind to the rest of the world and I am not oblivious to what is going on around me. Your input was good insight for me to learn about something even further. I can read a book about it. I prefer to listen to people speak out of their real-life experience. It speaks volumes to me.
Thank you for your time! 
Fair enough.
I would love to talk more, maybe I should appologize for truncating the conversation!
Unfortunatly, I live in a developing country right now, and I have to go do my wash...in a big bucket. UGH! (Yes, very strange to have inernet in one room and a wash tub in the next)
So Maybe we can talk again more later...maybe we can dissect the American influence in developing countries and how the infrastructure and social fabric can or cannot handle all the US has to offer!

"paycheck english": there's one way of speaking that people use to communicate with friends and family, but they need to know the more standard form of English to be able to get a job, win someone over at an interview, etc.

No apology needed. It is funny because apartments I've rented in Ukraine, the washing machine is in the bathroom along with the bathtub and sink. There was only enough room to walk into the bathroom. If someone had a really big booty, they would not be able to sit on the pot! They would have been stuck between the washing machine and the wall! Doing without some luxuries is not that bad!
