Does anyone else absolutely CRINGE when they see someone use what I call 'myspace spelling'?
I just got an e-mail from my niece. I am amazed at how INTENTIONALLY bad her spelling is. The whole note was peppered with things like 'relle' which is 'REALLY' and 'ur'. I also noted that she likes to add extra vowels for no apparent reason. Me becomes Mee and bye becomes Biiiye.
I swear my eyes and my head hurt after reading the letter.
And then I thought about the fact that my sons might one day think spelling incorrectly is kewl. Now my heart hurts too.
Does this aggravate ANYONE else?

The worst is at middle schools I consult in, teachers now have to teach students to please not use this type of grammar and spelling in their writing

I use 'abreviated' spelling (ur, I luv u 2, etc.) when I text DH since it takes forever to type on my cell phone.
I usually do not in emails to friends (unless I use 'DH' or something like that) and NEVER at work or with someone I don't know.
