In this text wea can clearly detect a non standard use of language. This is seen in the following quote: "Lounging and some blowing-of-the-gift-money" we can say that is a non standard language because the text is not respecting in te correct way the punctuation marks. In this particular text, we can also find a use of phonetical spelling, we can evidence it in the following quote: " What day you wanna hang out? " specificly in the word "wanna" because this word is reffering to "want to" and it's written like this because it is trying to imitate the oral language sound. Then is another phonetical spelling reflected in the use of capital letters to give more emphasis to an specific word in this case the word "BOOK" he (the subject) use capital letters because he want's to show us that he is very fond at reading books.
