I imagine people would use 'tanks' in an ironic sense.
I do that kind of thing all the time when messaging my friends. |

no no no, it's only with certain words. they're not gonna say "danks!" they'll say "thanks"- the t/d substitution only occurs during certain ghetto-ified subjects, such as "dat ass" or "WHO DAT?!?" or... umm. DAT DAT DAT DAT DAT |

Only lazy/undereducated folks pronounce their "th" like a "d"
der, dat, dem, etc. It can also be correlated to music (see the country music thread) |

you know, to be fair marcus, if we're gonna be splitting hairs over the english language, in school i learned that it's "learned" not "learnt"
:p
and honestly, logically it makes 0 sense to spell the past tense of "learn" with a "t." no sense whatsoever, especially when the usual "ed" ending is used with just about every other past tense verb. |

This is also interesting.
People that say "Hey der", as Nate pointed out... don't they pronounce "think" like "tink" as well? Or does it only happen when the "th" sounds like an intermediary sound between "z" and "v"? (I don't really want to use the terminology here, but I hope this explanation is understandable :p).
Or, as KillaDJ joked, wouldn't they actually say "In da clob, doing ma tang"? |

"think" and "there" are two different "th" sounds. "think" is a softer, air-y sound, whereas "there" is more aspirated. people who say "hey der," at least around dis der neck-a-da-woods, pronounce "think" correctly. i tink. i dunno i'm not one of those guys. |
