You and I automatically know that these words are really "store" and "fixing to", but Mgdzkm433 doesn't. Therefore, she would have a hard time understanding a post that used those terms, especially when they are spelled that way.

@ MidwestDiva...that's the truth. Even when you are familar with the spoken "ebonics", it's very challenging to follow the conversation when those same words are written. For those who have read "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by (my) Soror Zora Neale Hurston, it often takes a chapter or so to get into the swing of the dialouge because of the writting style. But it's a highly recommended book for those who haven't yet read it.
