“The first is street slang.”

Oh, well, then, that makes it all right. It is obvious that the best thing we can do is to seize upon the very worst people among us and idealize them, to imitate their ignorant, illiterate street patois and their counterproductive attitudes.

Yep, that will get us out of this mess, for sure.

There is no “correct” spelling of street slang, because street slang is in and of itself an offense against civilization.

See here is your problem. You assume it was a typo or incorrect usage but it was chosen carefully to get a point across. And you proved it worked when you first took the use of the word to task. Because see you knew instinctively what the word represented. See the new reality is ruled by the Obama Gibsmedat voters. And I used the word to set the phrase right in the middle of that reality.

In writing you always look for the fewest and best words to get your point across and your reaction proves my phrase did exactly what I meant it to do.

Oh and it should be noted the Oxford online dictionary gives a definition of the word "sez" it notes the proper spelling of the word as well.

Definition of sez in English:
verb
Non-standard spelling of ‘says’, used in representing uneducated speech: ‘I’ve got a paper ’ere that sez they can’t come in.'
