- IMO it should be banned, and I've never said that about any book, ever. Ok, maybe not banned, but good god, it sounds like an assault on the English language.
I can't help but think of how much flak Mark Twain got over writing Huckleberry Finn in the dialect that people spoke instead of "proper English". It's one thing to put this kind of writing in a formal work, but using this in a creative work isn't anti-language, it's a recognition of reality. Mistaking this as acceptable for an essay on Shakespeare isn't a gaffe from ttyl's author, it's an issue of someone else's stupidity.
