Oh. And I remember getting torched for asking why a certain poster from an ancient board posted the way she did.

How was I supposed to know she had some kind of disability?

But then it was pointed out that the same poster COULD spell correctly and just didn't.

When that came out, there was a melt down.

Of course those same posters who gave her a pass are the ones who can't let anything go now.

It was all a fake.  Attention getting fake.

 There's no way that I could purposely type THAT badly.

I have also seen that individuals posts. 90% are extremely difficult to decipher. The other 10% are perfect. So, IMHO, Trudy hit it on the spot.

I believe the image in the OP was more concerned over dyslexic looking typos rather than spelling errors.

I believe that the occasional typo (like "teh") can be forgiven. I believe consistent spelling errors (some favorites that I loathe: "should of" and "could of") should not be.

 "Teh" is like nails on a chalkboard to me...mainly because it's thought to be "cool" to use it deliberately.

 I'm not sure you should have shared this little tidbit.  Teh ability to annoy you just got that much easier.

 I blame that stupid website...I can haz teh cheezburger?

"I can haz cheezburger" is a demon sent to destroy the English language. It's brother demons are Twitter, Snapchat, facebook, text messaging, and (my apologies) message boards.

I despise "text speak" with the fury of 1,000 supernovas. Even when I am texting, on the rare occasion that I do, I use full English words. And if anyone wants me to reply they will send full words as well.

 We don't need text speak anymore. It started because when texting first started, you only had space for 40 characters. 

I don't have a problem with a few acronyms.

Yeah, well, if you said anything about it at all, you were vaporized.

It was ridiculous the amount of enabling that was done.
