I do think proper spelling does matter. I do appreciate that it is far more difficult for some people - are you left handed by the way, Doug? (Tell you why sometime.) However, what does really irritate me is when it is purely slapdash - people who have no problems in that direction but just can't be bothered to express themselves properly. As for people using textspeak in any other context, I foam at the mouth!

There is also the point that slapdash mis-spelling makes it more difficult for those who have perceptual problems such as dyslexia to understand what is written.
