Also, pachyderm, I wish you had not quoted my post as I had VERY CLEARLY removed myself from this discussion/argument/debate awhile back with an explanation of WHY I posted what I did.

I have ALWAYS tried to use good grammar and spelling and punctuation and was a good student and actually quite obsessive about it. I have never felt stigmatized by someone posting in defense of chat/text speak or people who don't use good grammar and such. That doesn't make any sense to me. I feel snobby posting that I try to use good grammar and that I was a good student.

But whatever. I don't even care really. I wanted to be out of this several posts ago, but was dragged back in.
