Really? I actually had to go back and reread it after I saw your post to even realize it was full of misspellings. When a person reads they don't read "letter for letter". Normally you can glance at most common words, spelled correctly or not, and just understand what it is. That is unless it is so misspelled that it just becomes a jumble of letters.
On topic:
While playing WoW I honestly couldn't give a damn if you are using the proper version of their/there/they're ect. A small amount of reading comprehension goes a long way.
Let's eat, Grandma
and
Let's eat Grandma.
Why the hell would I want to eat my grandma? You say punctuation saves lives. I say reading comprehension does.
Alot of people in here need to understand the difference between grammar, spelling, punctuation and reading comprehension.
Guess which one I fail at most? (hint: starts with an "s")
Many people do read the way things are spelled out, hence why that flash was made, and I believe was the main point of the OP.
While I agree to an extent on this point, it's still very lazy to write out thngs like txt's in-game, as st8ed b4.On topic:

Speaking of comprehension, why couldn't you comprehend that these statements were to put it into perspective?Let's eat, Grandma

If the scentance makes some sort of sense the spelling/grammer is irrelevent - Possible exception - English Essay/Job CV etc.

There are sentences where proper punctuation makes a big difference and even reading comprehension doesnt help.
Also, it may be hard for the reader to understand you. Especially in english language where sentences / words can be so flexible. You dont put punctuation because you perfectly know what you mean, but for the reader its not so clear and he has to put those comas and periods on his own. Or figure out what that strange word was originally and where was the typo made. In the end each reader has to do it on his OR give up reading OR completely misunderstand your point.
Just because you didnt care about making your sentences easier to read

I have enough of EA ruining great franchises and studios, forcing DRM and Origin on their games, releasing incomplete games only to sell day-1 DLCs or spill dozens of DLCs, and then saying it, and microtransactions, is what players want, stopping players from giving EA games poor reviews, as well as deflecting complaints with cheap PR tricks.
I'm not going to buy any game by EA as long as they continue those practices.

from the great The Parking Lot is Full that ended far too soon.
And that one's from '96. It's like reading 1982 and then looking at today's world. Sure it sounds scary at first, but then you realize how much of it has already come to pass, in a much more horrifying way.
But your duty to Azeroth is not yet complete. More is demanded of you... a price the living cannot pay.
It's always easier to read proper sentences, but I'm starting to get used to internet lingo anyway. No big deal in my opinion, as long as it is somehow understandable.
However, when it is really that bad I can't help but hear this.
If you write sentences in text speech, ie. Shortening words and stuff Im not going to make an issue of it or say anything, I'll just think your 12 years old, for some reason thats just how i see you when I read it.
Example:
Random: "u dnt do tht, ur spos to do this"
I read that and just think I'm listening to a 12 year old, don't know why.
The only thing I ever correct people on is when they say:
"sweet, a axe just dropped" instead of
"sweet, an axe just dropped", that really bugs me, I don't actually correct people on it much, just sometimes.
If one isn't too sure about placing commas one can consider changing a sentence that no fatal misunderstandings happen.
Granpa lets eat. (still wrong but not deadly)
At least English is easier than German on this. There are rules about punctuation in German that make Satan cry.
A problem that is quite on the level of flawed grammar is correct spelling. Or do you want to make Santa cry? Didn't think so.

holy mother of Santa!
Im starting to like the way they talk in theaters. But only if they try to act out internet forum discussions.

Your nickname and your character name are both written in the same fashion you're standing up against.

Glad to see the system works, and uses proper grammar too!
