What’s the deal with people who have no clue when it comes to proper grammar and spelling?

I realize Twitter has a 140 character limit and Facebook also has character limits, so sometimes you have to shrink words – but seriously, there’s no excuse for some of the butchering of the English language that I see on the web.

Here’s an example, taken from a Facebook fan review of A Nightmare on Elm Street:

People Have An Issue Becuz Freddys Not As funny As He Was In Da Other 1s.. But They Cant Make The Movie Exactly Da Same. They R Changing All The Movies A Bit. I Mean in Friday The 13th Jason Was Running. It Was Gud U Just Have 2 B Open Minded N Not Expect The Original Knightmare On Elm Street

Not bad enough? Here’s another from the same comment thread:

PPL TLD MEIT WAS ASS BT IMA WATCH IT BOTLEG SHIID IAINT WASTING MY MONEY

You can make any excuse you want, but that ain’t leetspeak. That’s something else entirely, but for the sake of my readers I won’t write it.

But it rhymes with mucked up.
