why does it matter if someone does not speak in proper grammar? when you are speaking, you can say whatever it is and as long as someone understands it, then it is fine.....
some people are just english freaks whereas others are not...
you got mail is fine. everyone understands it. why need to add in "have"

I find people who seem to take pride in poor grammar, poor spelling, poor diction, and so on as unfathomable as people who seem to take pride in their weakness in mathematics.
"In my sociology class, we were instructed to write answers to some questions the teacher was asking. 'Next question,' announced the instructor. 'How would you like to be seen by the opposite sex?'
"I was thinking about my answer when the young woman next to me turned and asked, 'How do you spell intellectual?'"

you guys are looking at poor grammar the wrong way, it is a must to keep that cup half full rather then half empty. Poor grammar is your daily dose of unintentional humor witch is the best type imo

Well.... Being a nerd is not going to get you laid. Or is the opposite sex going to find your mathematical expertise sexually attractive..... Unless she is a nerd.....
