Lack of punctuation, capitalisation and spelling. You're living in an incredibly privileged society. Most of you are getting free schooling. Don't mangle the English language. It's lazy, barbaric and disrespectful.
That dyslexia spiel is bullshit, too: you can get a spellchecker for your browser inside of 100 mouse-clicks. It's laziness. Moral degeneracy. Fucking idiots.
*phew*.
Pretty much what he said, but I'ma add an amendment (which, for all I know, Mr. squirrel might vehemently disagree with): I'm all for leniency if the speaker/typer/whatever clearly knows what's up, but chooses to mangle the language a bit for stylistic purposes. Basically, learn yr shit, and then make the words do what you want them to. No need to be hyper-proper all the time, cuz language is malleable and fun, but at least get the basics down.. y'know, for job applications and all that jazz.
