It's common sense. If someone doesn't make the effort to write using correct English, the effort "saved" by not giving a sh*t has to be recuperated somewhere, and that effort comes from the reader.

If you text someone lazily, it's a one-on-one communication and they'll either accept your message or ignore it if it's not worth it.

Forum messages, though, might be read by dozens. What you're basically saying is that your reluctance to write "you" instead of "ya" and "and" instead of "n" means your time is more valuable than the cumulative time of all the accywebbers who try to make sense of your message?
