I didn't read all the replies but will say that bad spelling and grammar have never been so accepted! It comes from the internet, texting, and new generations of people raised on slang and informality.
Nowadays, you can find typos, bad spelling and grammar in print and all over the internet. So, the OP's post is very poorly timed.

It's not just on the internet. I notice it on the news, TV, movies, just everywhere!
Skimming through this statement, I can honestly say I could understand what was conveyed; however, when I come across posts like this, they annoy me and I skip right past them.
I was put on this Earth to annoy people just like you.... Thanks for making my day on Earth worth while today...
My impression is that it doesn't come from texting so much as it comes from a general hurry and sloppiness and not being observant. Because I see older adults do it too -- adults who didn't grow up texting.
When I was growing up, spelling things wrong was something many people felt embarrassed about, because it implied you didn't go to school or pay attention in school. These days, people don't seem embarrassed by anything, especially younger people.
The main attitude I get coming from younger people is that they're too "hard-working" to slow down and do little things correctly, because they're so brilliant (after all, their parents and teachers told them so) and on their way to curing cancer. They're so busy winning, they don't have TIME to spell the word "lose" correctly!

I hope the Houston Texans don't "loose" today.... Sorry, I just couldn't help myself....LOL
When I am at school, I try to do good in not making any errors. I do have trouble with adjectives, adverbs, and a lot more. Yes when i am in the real world; I will be using good spelling and grammar.
I frequently get confuzed about colons, semi-colons, commas.
