Hello,
More to the point, educated people will use the slang and
contractions when they are attempting to convince and win over
people they believe to be uneducated or inferior.

Not all. Sometimes we are trying to establish a rapport by using
informal language. Trying to add a little informality to a fairly
rigid communications system. Not unlike an IETF bar

offensive to some and I am going to try to find other words.
It is difficult to determine which of the two opinions about slang
and contractions is true.
Perhaps we can assume good intentions all around?
The usual response, in the IETF, is that a complainant could assume
that the action (or content of a message) was in good faith. I asked
someone else to review a few messages (unrelated to this
thread). The messages were described as condescending.
