Exactly, and that's why it angers me.  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.
