.....grammer police strikes again....

For those of us who write in a blog or post on forums:
we have an edit button.

It's bad enough that most of us seem to have stopped being able to type in coherent sentences or even use words to their correct meaning but how hard is it to go back and fix bad spellings. Sure I know that a lot of the times, we type on the proverbial spur as a responce to something that's just come up and heck, we'll allowed a typo or two but please, if you genuinely don't know how to spell something, how hard is it to go look in a dictionary?
What bugs me even more is the growing number of people, invariably "kids" who type not only in sms/text language but also those who type in fake US gangsta speach. What the fuck? Some tosser born and raised in london wants to sound like 50 cent? What makes it worse is that I know that is 100% down to them imitating the US rap culture and the things you see in the films. I made a post about the intelligence of the viewers but this almost disproves my previous statement.
How about those US style (again) EMO kids? It appears as they've superceded the goths in terms of uselessness on the internet blog world. It's no longer just random words strung together into things that are supposed to be poetry and "[gruff crazy voice]beware the dark pits of my eternal misery and pity[/gruff crazy voice]. Instead we get "No one cares" (and?), "the girl I fancy doesn't know I like her...."(then tell her you twat) "my parents stopped my credit cards".... (get a job?) "i want to die"....(nothing stopping you)

Really?
you want to die?
for those it may concern, it's not across the street, or even down the highway; it's right across the jugular.
go and learn to type and interact in an adult way of just go and die properly.

sorry.
very new to this blog and haven't quite worked my way around the settings properly.

to be honest I know that this particular post was made almost in sheer frustration at a particular forum that I post on and I am well aware that I am not entirely guilt free when it comes to bad grammatical practices.
Saying that, there is a world of difference between simple typos, typing in a "speach" manner and just plain illegible wannabe "gangsta" speach, let alone them replicating in in typing.
