Five hundred years ago people spelled English pretty much how they liked. I guess things are coming full circle.
If people's posts are full of bad spelling or typos, that's fine by me. What irritates me is not bad spelling, but cultish spelling which is deliberate and meant to be cool. It covers up a lack of content. At the very least, when you force people to try to work out what you mean you make sure they aren't paying full attention to what you are saying. It's OK among your peer group, but is just a pain for everybody else. I guess irritating others and pretending you are different are the main reasons why people do it.
I reserve my uptight tut-tutting for advertising campaigns costing millions of pounds which are full of the most basic grammatical errors and lumpy prose. You see them everywhere these days.

Not no mo'.... I gots me a new Avon Av-46 on the back. It's nice and black with cool lookin' water channels cut into it, and those grooves go all the way across the middle of the tire, and it has a nice, continuous arc to it..... man, it's sweet.....CentralOzzy wrote:Time to just go for a ride I reckon!
Haaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!
Not sure about Mr "Burnout BuzZz" looks like he is having traction difficulties....
Front tire is still on backorder..... 
but the front Michelin is well and truly buggered, it's not un-usably buggered. So I been riding... this is the last weekend off I'll get until the middle of Nov., probably the last weekend of good riding for me until next year. Winter Sux!!!And once you get it mostly melted, that Battlax stuck pretty good..... in a straight line....
