i would concur, hypothetically, yes, when put that way i would prefer proper grammer. im late 20\'s. typing wasnt a requirement like im sure it is now.. If texts allowed for more characters i could type it right. haha,, only haveing like 160 letters allowed is what ruined me. That and i have a job where rarely i have to type ever. Guess i lost it since i dont use it (pen an papper that is)

You should see kids' writings in school...they write in AOL slang words/terms.

I just got around to reading this but I have to agree. For some reason, this word/spelling really irritates me.

I see it constantly on job applications. It is embarrassing that high school aged kids cannot spell the name of the town they live in.

Can somebody explain this crap to me? Why do so many little fart knockers out there insist on spelling the word "the" as teh? Is it really that difficult to put the same three letters in the correct order? That is "prolly" my biggest complaint about some folks' way of writing nowadays.

I am currently a doctoral student teaching undergraduate courses on my fellowship. I can't tell you how bad some of my students' writing is. Last semester, a girl handed in a paper and the whole thing looked like one giant text message.

A lot of university freshman simply don't know how to write. High school educational systems vary so much that some kids are way behind when they enter college...
