Hehe, I've seen most of those, it really is annoying. It doesn't make sense to me...I mean, most of the population is educated, so they should be able to spell correctly, right?

It's the same on most chat rooms. I, for example, try to type in gramatically correct, coherent sentences. My sister however, does not try, no matter what. She knows she needs to work on her spelling, but remains adamant about it, and doesn't even practise it during IM chats.

It really irks me to think they can type things like that, and pass it off as "easier to type", or "easier to understand". I understand it, yes. It takes a minute or two to do so, yes. It is easier to type....if you do it constantly! It takes a long time to develop those shortcuts if you're used to typing correctly.

Same goes for overall spelling, I mean, why take the education, then not take the time to proofread documents? I have a few words which I used to stumble over (such as receive), but, when it's bloody simple words, it's really annoying.

Yeah, this was long, but I felt it neccessary to expand as I did.
