There is a time and place for slang but I agree that people should make an effort to speak English properly. I wouldn't go as far as ignoring someone but eventually poor communication will negatively affect them down the road. For example, my younger brother used to say "like" in every sentence until he went looking for a job. I told him that no one will hire him if he didn't get rid of his high school "slang". He didn't believe me until an interviewer actually called him out on this (whoops, is "called him out" slang?, oh well..) . So my brother forced himself not to say "like" at the start or end of every sentence and he was able to land a job shortly thereafter. Stupid kid....
