How do you know if a British person is speaking “ghetto” or “bad” English?
Question by Svetlana K: How do you know if a British person is speaking “ghetto” or “bad” English?
For example, in the USA, when a person says “I is” or saying Do instead of Does (Do he know…?), we consider it “ghetto English” or whatever you’d like to call it. How do you know if a British person is speaking “ghetto English”? Is it the accent? Different words used?

well yeah youv got it right there realy. some people talk like that because its there accent whereas others just try and be cool. do you no how many differnt dialects the UK has? i have whats called a Geordie accent, search a few on google its fun ! i can do most of the accents
Whether its in the US or UK (or any where else) using improper grammar comes across as ignorant.
Calling it something else, like “ghetto” doesn’t change that fact.
Personally, I do not understand why anyone would choose to come across as anything but intelligent. I often come across people using “ghetto” speak while applying for a job. Needless to say, I do not seriously consider them when hiring.
getto is more gangsta like (yo , dog, ay, aaight, )
bad english is more like I ain’t go not etc.
