I will correct my spelling and grammer mistakesYea, I hate it when people start typing like that.Some of them think it's cool and fun but I think that's just downright stupid.My time is wasted deciphering their stupid message.Orthography is a beautiful thing.People should appreciate it.I'm either getting to old or he's inventing a new language
