if you make one or 2 spelling mistakes or typos that's fine, it's expected. it's when I have to do a double take every 3rd word (have you ever tried chatting with kids like Kustom_FTO? it takes me longer to figure out what "IRL" meant that it would've taken him to type the damn thing. no offense buddy, you can still be my bitch lol) that works me up. and also.... (I know you didn't mention this, but I figured I'd get all my grammar and spelling nazi-ism out in the one place) DON'T SHOUT AT ME THROUGH MY COMPUTER, and do you normally breath and pause during a sentence yes well good now you can use punctuation and maybe think about starting new sentences if you were to take 400 words to make one point which is what a sentence is then you have a problem

actually... after typing that, not using punctuations sh*t me off much more than anything else. I almost wanted to punch myself in the face for typing just that (had to leave it half way to do something else, when I got back... I had to read what I typed.)

Rofl, j00 guyz r a bunch ov failurs

I have had that email for years and only noticed it when I was cleaning out my "funny and interesting" folder; meh.

And yes, it does work, though your brain needs to know the actual word ahead of time, there's no point showing antidisestablishmentarianism (probably spelt wrong) or similar all fkuced up to someone who hasn't seen it before as they will have NFI what it means.
