Wouldn't that be *write* proper English ?

LMAO!

It's not so much an age thing with a lot of folks but there simply tends to
be a lazy attitude when it comes to electronic communication. For many it's
driven by online gaming when you have to type what you need to say and fast.
As well IM's and chat rooms. It's a LOT easier without punctuation, proper
grammar and capitalization. Even my wife tends to not use the shift key
when sending e-mails, it's just not viewed in the same light by many (like
those new to electronic communication) But she would never hand write a
letter like that! Heheh. I on the other hand chose to fight through that
temptation and used it as and opportunity to improve my typing so that I
could do it the right way and do so fast! It works and perhaps at 14 there
is still time and work left to do to get there.

However, his sentiments are fairly spot on with how a good number of folks
here feel.
