Spelling and grammar are such major points of contention for me that I am well-known in the chat areas I frequent that I'll thwap anyone who ignores the basic rules of English. Especially, as commented on several times above, the younger generation, in particular, appears to delight in mutilating my beloved language.
I have a very sarcatic manner in my speech and habitually use emotes to express myself because of the lack of seeing or hearing my body language and heavy use of tone for meaning.
I, too, lose my cool when I feel ignored because someone simply walked off, again, another major crime of youth, than those of us born in a world pre-internet and manners.
At least now, messengers have allowed voice and cam to give a better impression of one's communication.
Those features have permitted better expression.
