Well, we're not saying that- it's just seriously irksome whe people start posting like:

"ome... i luv twilite sooooo much its so awesome + smeyer is amazing+i luv ed soooo much he is hot1111!! has anybody else red this book btw i luuuuv it!11"

Or not exactly like that, but you know what I mean. I don't begrudge the occasional abbreviation, but it needs to be used in intelligent context; for example, "lol" would be acceptable if someone saying, "Oh, Lena, that was spectacular writing! I lol'd- you could pursue a career in comedy!" but it would be annoying if someone abused abbreviations (see above). And typos are fine and understood- unless it's, say, every other word is misspelled.

When we're on here to discuss literature, for Heaven's sake, I would think that just maybe we could try to type crrectly*? Agreed?

*Okay, I misspelled "correctly" on purpose to show you what I mean. You're reading my post and hopefully thinking that I'm stating my views in a reasonable manner, using intelligent terminology, and reading over my postbefore submitting. If you see one word that is misspelled or mistyped, then you'll probably be willing to forgive me, and classify that error as an innocent typo. But if I had been doing that my entire post, and using excessive abbreivations and bad grammar, then you might reply with, "Hey, Mary Liz, next time you might want to read over you work, y'think?" ((If you were really annoyed you'd say "Mary Kate" instead of "Mary Liz." (Bad experiences with grownups who confuse my middle name with "Kate," "Beth," "Ann," and "Catherine.") ))

Am I sounding really garbled, or do you get what I mean?
