    or does it matter? phrases like these :

    anal = and all
    youse/yiz/yas = referring to 'you' in plural form
    dem/dat/dey = them/ that/ they
    dis =this


    you get the idea...

    It's spelling you are worried about, OP - not grammar. For example:
    murray.eoghan wrote: »

    Grammar, 10/10 - txtspk 10/10.

    There, means a place.

    They're is an abbreviation for they are.

    Their, means ownership by more than one person or indeterminate

    Please learn the ****ing difference

    Don't see why anyone would be bothered about how language is presented so long as they can understand it adequately. There are far worse things in life to concern oneself with.

    This, as long as it's understandable, I don't care, a lot of my friends can't be bothered to type out full words, hell, I don't even do it when I'm on my phone, I don't care.

    It is a pet hate of mine.

    ALSO PEOPLE WHO INSIST ON TYPING IN ALL CAPS FOR SOME REASON.

    Also people who refuse to punctuate and turn their status updates into one long barely-readable sentence like this one lad I know who has a bloody law degree and uses social media all the time but for some reason just refuses to punctuate his damn sentences yeah that really pisses me off no end what do ye think
