In my younger days I was surprised to learn that people that speak ghetto write ghetto as well;

Ask them to write in cursive, or more diplomatically, "long hand".

Some years back, the liberals were pushing to allow "ghetto speak" as just another dialect, and graduate 'em anyway. (California, where else?)

Oh, it was worse than that; even when they would PRINT, they could barely spell.
