The Internet makes people stupid. At one point, my brother actually had his buddy list separated into "Buddies" and "No Speak English." I know plenty of smart people who have started using AIM and the Internet, then slowly lost their knack for proper use of the English language. I don't capitalize when I talk to friends over various instant messaging programs, I rarely capitalize in IRC, I rarely use punctuation, yet I make sure that I don't let that kind of stuff slip into my vocabulary and normal writing.
