Clearly, if these teenagers have computers, and Internet access, they are not living in a box. And most likely, they go to school. And they choose to mock what others would probably love more than anything to have, you know? And while intelligence should not necessarily be based on spelling, grammar, etc. it will be, and for quite a while, I imagine. Could you imagine filling out a job application like that? And even among the people who HAVE had the chance to go to school, learn to read, there are the ones who are learning disabled, etc. You know, I bet half these morons posting like that would never DREAM of mocking someone who's in a wheelchair. Damn - the more I write, the more PO'd I get, lol.
