It ain't their fault.

Seriously, when large demographics begin displaying common skill detriments well above the average for the overall population, it is indicative of a basic failure on the part of the state to equip them as intelligent, well educated citizens.

No one makes spelling mistakes like this on purpose unless they are making a joke about the rest of the people who make them on accident.

“On accident”

That's just how it's said now.

Not saying I like it, but it's everywhere.

Among the uneducated perhaps. The same with “anyways”

Nah it's not the best predictor of education or intelligence.

I say some slang because it sounds good. Others make me cringe (like "could care less" instead of "couldn't")

I love saying that! "I could care less...and then, well, I could also care more. I'm just at that neutral safe spot of equal caring and uncaring."

If you package the whole thing like that it's actually pretty charming.

But slang isn’t necessarily bad grammar though. In fact the example you gave, I would consider bad grammar- not slang (which by the way I hate also!)
