that's just the danger of sayings and idioms: they become meaningless when they're overused. as for typos, they were inevitable due to the layout of the keyboard, and people fall into the habit of typing a certain way. people are lazy and tend to type in a set way after they've gotten used to it. For instance, I don't usually use many caps, and i normally capitalize every other "I". it's just a habit I fall into.
the only thing that really bugs me is when people capitalize erratically, it interrupts the shape of words and makes it cumbersome to read.
but it's true, the internet is certainly mutating the english language.
