Could be internet-speak.
Hated the Dickens's dialect example. (Not the eg. but they way it read and no, didn't know "pison" was "poison.") Dialect is the riskiest of businesses. When it's right it's fantastic but it's so easily wrong.
I think Tom Wolfe is a genius with the way he uses dialect. Esp. his
The Bonfire of the Vanities.
