English is weird

I honestly don't feel like we are under any obligation to use proper grammar on social media or everyday communication, but some of those are hilarious largely because of the shitty attitude of the people involved.
Pretty sure Arron's was meant to be satirical, though...
Method of Madness:
Obligation? Maybe not, but is there any reason not to?
Thrillho:
Some people can't spell. Expecting people who don't spell well, and have no need to in their day to day lives, to use flawless grammar and spelling on a network that is for socialising, not spellchecking, is just prickish and pedantic.
I don't do maths in my head particularly well, and every time people act like everyone should have perfect grammar all the time and victimise people for it, I hear my family's voices when I don't add things up immediately in my head or don't know my times tables off by heart (I have to work them out, I never memorised them).
Different people have different skills.

I do wonder how much of that is autocomplete fail, though.
