What's da reason?

Asked by katwoman 4 days ago, 6 answers.

Why are a lot of people using 'da' instead of the word 'the'?
Are they using it as 'short for 'the'?
Is it supposed to be a 'cool' way of saying 'the'?
Is it because they're lazy?
Or are people forgetting how to spell?

on dictionary.com, some of the meanings are:
*a mens hairstyle from the 50's.
* stands for Department of Agriculture
* District Attorney

Thanks for your comments,
Carol

I think its mostly kids trying to find a 'cool' way of talking. its worse when they talk to you like..'YO ITZZ that DROO-TING GYAL DAN..'. honest to god.. I have no clue what theyr on about.
