As I read these posts, I wonder...have the people on Twitter that post in 1337 5p33k and TXT TLK known what they were doing all along, and it's really just to annoy people?

It's a crime against the English language. They should be whipped through the streets, tar and feathered, then hung, drawn, and quartered. Or something even worse.

Perhaps if it were more like in the old days, i.e. like a DOS environment? Eliminate the requirement for proper case, and do away with that pesky punctuation stuff too. While we're at it, disregard character transposition to the degree that as long as (almost) all the letters of a given word or term are present, the word or term is valid (this might decrease the net word-count of the language, resulting in increased ambiguity until we're used to that decreased word-count, but WTH, that'll make things interesting while we adjust).
