Oh dear, I have to agree with Mal for once.
I'm fully with you there on grammar and punctuation in modern usage.
I know of one teacher who refuses and returns any written work that
makes use of Text-ese. It has made her unpopular with kids and some
other staff.

A shining example of what can be achieved especially by a disabled person
.
It shows some radio amateurs up in a bad light!!!!!! on MF/LF some class A
operators dont know a DIT from a DAH and I assume they are able bodied. It
used to be that a class A amateur had an advantage over the general public
by being able to converse in morse code, just like another language except
it was totally international.
Even a worse senario, a lot of persons today cannot write, the norm is to
use a keypad and send text messages using some abbreviated gibbirish,
grammar is not required, sort of pigeon english.
