This makes me wonder if there's an underlying dislike of exercise with 'excuse' and 'curse' suggested in the misspelling.
"other excursuses to gain muscle "
Related, my best friend from kindergarten is one of the smartest guys I know. He aced every math and science course in high school, and it took him 2.5 years to drop out of college. He's a IT ace now, and a few years ago I get an email from him telling me he hurt his bicept.
Another fellow SHU alumni here. Great school - got a fantastic education.
Hmmm...apparently that education was not fantastic enough for this person to learn that a male graduate is an alumnus, and that a female graduate is an alumna. Unless this person has more than one body, he/she could not be an "alumni".
I think just sayin' is overused by some people, but it is not nonsense, it can be a useful rhetorical device to distance the speaker's attachment to their statement. Some statements or responses can be perceived as adversative to the listener. By using the device just sayin', the speaker can make a point without creating a sense of attack or insult on the listener. Just sayin'.
Then I'll ask you:
Before 'just sayin' became popular, how did you let people know you'd just said something? Did your words simply go unnoticed?

I'm sure there is some sort of drawl in play there.

On the other hand, for those of us with less-compromised literacy, it is...I almost hesitate to say it...an "epic fail".

Exactly!
Despite the protests of...you know what I meant...the reality of the situation is that almost all of us do judge people on the quality of their communication. When you display poor communication skills in either written or spoken form, the image that is projected is one of a person with...lesser abilities...and that can be costly in the long run, in terms of lost opportunities.
Many people are of the opinion that, in casual situations--such as online forums--it is acceptable to be...less than perfect in their communication. Yes, it is acceptable, but some people find it difficult to switch back and forth from their goodbusiness communication persona to their casual communication persona, and for those people it is probably better to try to keep things as correct as possible at all times.
...or, in other words, practice makes perfect.
