A bit of slang that i want to know

Hello, Dear Teachers!

On the internet you might see pronouns that's used just like ordinarily but with a bit of alteration. Can i say: "Me don't have a pencil; Me not at home" instead of "I don't" "I'm not"? Why do people use such kinds of expression?

Thanks.

I suppose some people think using "baby talk" (me don't know) is cute. Maybe they think using language that contains errors a child would make shows them to be innocent or not responsible, as a child would be. I have no idea.

Some people will do anything to attract attention to themselves! They may think that such baby talk makes them endearing to others, but in fact very few people find baby talk endearing in adults.
