Are we supposed to meekly accept the dumbing down of the population. I can understand ignoring typos and spellings, many are hard to catch by proofreading if the type is small. But misuse of words, their/there, for example, is illiterate, and inexcusable. And shorthand in notes, such as "u" is just dumb. I have seen people refuse to use punctuation, making their posts unreadable, then take offense when someone criticizes them.
