The vernacular (diction) is the dialect spoken by natives of a certain area. It doesn't usually use proper gramatical conventions. For example: how 'valley girls' use the word "like" a lot or southerners say "y'all" all the time. The vernacular can be used in writing as an informal strategy to add voice to the piece or to create a sort of connection/closeness with the reader, as the writer is using the same strategies they use to speak. Depending on how it's used, it can be both good or bad.
