No? It's probably a habit from using a lot of irc chats and like
other instant message platforms n stuff..
I'll bet I've been using IRC a lot longer than you have, and many IM
apps over the years, and I don't do that. Neither does anyone I know.
Why would you *WANT* to appear to be sloppy/lazy/illiterate? Sorry,
but I don't understand that kind of behavior. Is it really that much harder to write properly? Are you in that much of a hurry that you
can't do it?

It is a younger generation thing, the generation that grew up
with text messaging, etc. Those of us who had texting introduced
later probably still try to be grammatically correct.
Also, I am pretty certain they've quit stressing grammar as much
in schools.
Yes, I'm sure you're absolutely right. This generation will have lots
of neck/spine problems, and carpal tunnel in the hands, when they get
old; due to walking around while constantly staring down at their phone
and running into things.
Also, I am pretty certain they've quit stressing grammar as much
in schools.
Agreed. Along with a LOT of other important stuff. Have to make room
in the curriculum for all the new "woke" agenda stuff, ya know. :-(

That and the general lowering of standards so that the kids can score
better on the aptitude tests.

What do they do when they get to college? College's no longer check grammer on students papers? Or did they do away with writing papers too?

I am not certain but, outside of English majors, they may not check grammer any more.
I hadn't thought about that guy in a long time. I should have dedicated
my novel to him. :)

You wrote a novel? What was it about?

Yeah really? For real? Is it published yet? Inquiring minds want to
know ;-)
I was in AP English a long time ago, and had a conflict with the
3rd year AP English teacher. He sent me down to the regular English
class, and I realized I could write literal nonsense, but as long as it
was correctly grammatically correct, capitalized and punctuated I'd get
an A.

Part Zombie Apocalypse, part Earth Abides by George Stewart - the first apocalyptic fiction I read as a kid.
I wrote it during NANOWRIMO in 2017, added some text to get it to around 50K words, then took some out. It's still rough around the edges, but
I'm going to get around to putting it up as a kindle book some day.

When a College gets an avalanche of ignorant morons instead of the students they are expecting, they are forced to lower their standards.
If the Engineering College starts getting students who left High School ignoring what the Moment of Inertia of a body is, they will have to adapt theirplans. They won't be able to assume students know it and will have to teach it
themselves.
This is the reason why you have 2nd year College students who are still learning the basics.
