~~Pardon Our Dust.~~
Leche came from a cow?
My point is now proven.
Anyway, to further 117's point, let me demonstrate.
Instead of earlier posting:I believe that many people, even if they're learning English as a second language, shouldn't spell:
What as wut or wat.
It's never been spelled that way, ever. It's one of the first words we all learn to spell in Kindergarten, and if we're a foreign speaker, then there's more reason for error, but even then, it's a very basic and simple word. The above spelling is just plain lazy, and completely avoidable.
There's no reason they can't at least try to make it appropriately spelled. I know that most of the poorly spelled posts are from people that have this impression that they can be lazy on the internet, but honestly, it really is hard to understand them sometimes. I think if they want to communicate with everyone else, they'd best start putting that 3rd grade English class to better use.
Sure, if they're learning English as a second language, then it makes more sense for them to be using improper grammar and spelling, but I really don't think that's the case for almost 98% of the 'bad' spelling posters on here.
I sometimes wonder if the internet is engineering a lazy generation of kids...
.. What if I posted it like this?:

You be the judge. I find the latter incredibly difficult to wade through. It's just less appealing.
