It seems that every young person online and texting uses this ridiculous caveman talk..i.e. hey r u ther wat r u doin 2day yo...i no thatz krazy...And in general, people's grammar has become really terrible. People don't know the difference between you're and your, who and whom, their and there. And these are basic, basic concepts!
Are schools just not teaching well enough? Or do people just think it's ok to spell like that? Do people realize that when they type and speak incorrectly it makes them sound unintelligent and ignorant?
Also, I don't think that this is 'just how they type and text'. Your word usage and spelling when typing and texting represents your understanding and use of correct grammar in general.

I think some people do know what they are typing down. They just want to type like that because everybody's doing it, and they want to be just like everybody else. And I agree with you. It's really annoying seeing how people type misspelled words that a three year old can spell with no problem. I think you're the first one who;s actually saying something about it.

Well, I don't know, but I have the feeling that this way of talking is giving the english language its lethal blow.
People don't care about correct spelling. Besides, their spelling is already horrible.
In a few more years, people will speak a language made of symbols

I agree. Sometimes it seems like it takes more effort to spell these words incorrectly. I had a friend a few years ago who would spell "bye" as "bai." It's the same amount of letters! I know he knows the correct spelling. It's just odd.

Unfortunately computers don't teach us grammar and spelling. It just corrects it with spell check.
