To address this and the other numerous posts about the original post-
The TFP is, overall, a place for friendly and intellectual discourse. "ne1 want 2 chat hit me up ladies 2fine2Bsingle blaze my AOL @ foshizzle16"-type writing is hardly intelligent and hardly conversational in this forum. I don't care how old or smart you are, if you write like that in here, you will be asked to clean it up to real english, or people will flat-out ignore you. Posting that way is not "another way to write" or "another type of communication"... it's bastardized AOL-kiddie-speak, it looks dumb in here, and it doesn't fly in here.

Less than perfect to me is like, maybe you make a lot of typos. Those certainly aren't typos; they're from intentionally not writing standard English.

Damn straight. (The emphasis was mine.)
I've chatted for more than 10 years online, many of you much much longer than that, and i've also modded here for quite a while. Overwhelmingly, when a person comes and posts like that in here, they are found to be less than 18 years of age, or right at 18. It's just fact. Happens pretty much every time.
So, there's the official word. We can all go back to the topic now. Thanks.
