Ok, I'm gonna be a PITA, and say that proper spelling and grammar does, indeed, matter. Just perusing Facebook profiles, and knowing less about that stranger after reading, or trying to read, what is written, is a perfect example. I understand texting has evolved into a 'speak' of its own, but there are entire paragraphs without one correctly spelled word. Poor person is trying to say something, but no one can understand what it is. .
And, yes, I'm arguing just for the heck of it. Facebook, Omegle, and Chatroulette are my funny papers. My youngest sister couldn't spell to save her life, but it was all right, because you couldn't read her handwriting. ;)
