That is so cool! Does the title have an affect on your steem IQ? Although I could choose to use correct words and vocabulary in my posts I often prefer to use slang and broken english to give my posts more flair and style since I come from a skater and hip hop background. I guess I will have to be content being a steem dummy.

I understand where you're coming from, domavila! When I was writing for an online content site, many of my readers commented that they liked my down-home style since I wrote some of my articles in the first person. Those particular articles were about my personal experiences in dog rescue or experiences being a parent so it seemed to make sense. Then the site changed owners and the whole direction changed. The new owners wanted everything rewritten - no slang (hey man, I'm from Texas!), no 1st person, etc. My readership actually fell when I was forced to start writing "correctly". Sometimes, "correct" isn't what the readership enjoys.
When you say you're from a "skater" background are you talking skateboarding or traditional skating? If skating; quads, blades or ice?
I'm a skateboarder for life @sherrys8! I feel you about the slang, it's in my blood. When I went to UC Berkeley I always dropped slang on everyone. It was crazy cuz half the people I hung out with couldn't understand a damn word I said but my parents and grandparents understood me fine. Mt grandparents and parents were ten times cooler than the majority of Berkeley students I kicked it with.
