With my Google Reader, I keep up on hundreds of blogs, news sources and other feeds. Sometimes an article or story will prompt me to post a reply. Time and time again, I am amazed that people will write in "texting" language or worse, just not spell correctly.
I get that there is an occasional typo or missed word - I do that myself. but there is NO excuse for misspelling words - there are spell checkers built right into browsers. How hard it is to do it right?
Its more than the dumbing down of our world, it is, for me, that it makes a comment that might be very valid in content, completely invalid because it is unreadable. It makes people seem stupid. People who probably aren't stupid at all. Intelligent, kind, engage people who have a voice are completely overlooked because they cannot spell check or use a complete word. "R" and "U" are not words - they are letters. Adding two more letters you make a complete word. Amazing!
I know - judgmental and so menial of me. Oh well.
