My Goodness! I could hardly read the above text. It just stood out like a sore, sore thumb. Thats not to say that i think the writer is uneducated or doesn't know how to spell. Clearly there are some complex words within the paragraph but abominations to the beautiful English language such as "Lyf, dis, in2 and Wid" seem to be creeping in all over the place. Ouch! One of my pet peeves is the usage of deliberately broken English. It is: pointless, cuteless and generally fails to communicate anything more but annoyance.

Come on - contractions and colloquialisms need to stop somewhere!
