Talk properly, dammit!

Now, I don't know what kind of "traffic" this site will be getting, but even if I only get one person, if that person even THINKS of writing THIS sort of shit they can just get the Hell back out..

It depends really. If u dont do netin bout it, then u cld b missing out on something really great.
But yeah ur friendship is reali important but at the same time if ur gd enuf friends, then wotever happens, ur friendship will bounce back from it.
I think talk to ur best m8s about it, c wot they say but I think u shld go for it.

Now, that's just a random example taken from any number of chat rooms and discussion boards. It's absolutely depressing to read our language being torn apart and abused by thick scum who are too lazy to try any harder and actually write, like, WORDS.

E-mail has already killed off the art of writing a genuine letter to someone, but now we're in danger of breeding an entire generation of people who can't even string a sentence together without resorting to using text speak. On a mobile phone I SUPPOSE it's passable, but there is NO excuse when typing to other people on a computer. But the frightening thing is the majority of thickies who don't know any better. It may wash on other websites, but it certainly won't wash in the Fortress. Of course I won't edit or remove any comments, but don't expect to be on the Curmudgeon's good side if you start using that shit on me.

People - love your language. Let the thickies and knuckle-draggers have their pathetic text speak. You know it makes sense.
