I may be old fashioned but when a guy stands in front of a camera hat turned to the side or backwards wears lots of "bling" and uses street slang there is no way I can take that person seriously no matter how knowledgable they may be on the subject. In my world presentation is everything.
It the internet and cell phones dragging down the language skills of the newer generation.
