A term comprised of the English words illiterate(not able to read or write) and bastard(one not knowing their biological father). It startedcirculation when literatepeople referred to those unable to read or write properlyin a derrogatory way.
People whom this term refers to can be easily identified in the way they speak, write, read, and type. Symtomsinclude lack of capitalization in writingor typing, constantabbreviations of words like "you" and "people" in writingor typing, inability to convey coherent thoughtin any form of writingor speaking, inability to read with a steady flow, inability to discern the differencebetweenmisspelled or similarwords, and the list goes on and on.
Many of these people "hang out" on the internet, where they are immediatelyrecognizable by the way they type, such as shortening of small words, malusage of the shift key, and constant usage of incoherent terms not recognizednationally as part of the English language.
An estimated 75% of all Americans are said to not be able to properlydefine what grammar is. In this author's opnion, it is sad that so many people cannot even properlyuse their own adopteddialect.
Many times you will see bastards using terms such as "ppl," "u," or "omFg!!1111111111111" on the internet.
