This is my subject for this question.
I was just browsing around and noticed your column. You seem quite intelligent and you and I seem to share the trait where we can't stand it whEn ppl tIpe liEk thS!
So, congratulations on standing out to me in the midst of everyone else on this site. Your correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization are unfortunately rare. Why can't the internet have more people like you?
I guess this needs to end in a question. I would have used that last question but it seems I am still typing. How about this: Where in Texas do you live? Just curious. I rarely see anyone from Texas outside of the Metroplex or Houston. Then again, that does account for around 2 million people.

Maybe give some free advice about: Advicenators?
A person who can spell has asked me a question? *gasp!*
That is uncommon as well. I've been making my somewhat literate friends ask me questions to keep me busy.
As for your second question (It's always best to answer multiple questions out of order. It keeps people on their toes) I live in Austin, Texas; The wonderful capitol of it all (yes, I did use the right spelling of the word capitol for this scenario).
Yet I actually figure that it’s only wonderful because of the astounding live local bands that are around.
As for your first question; I figure that the illiteracy rate amongst those using the internet has a major negative correlation with age. For example: A 40 year old who has worked in a 5x5 cubicle all their life, would probably know how to properly spell, and/or punctuate in comparison to a 12 ½ year old (because people of that age, must insist that they are X amount of years, and then some. What also pisses me off about them is that they have the need to say such things as “well… I’m almost 13” To them I say “Well I could say I’m nearly 21, yet it wouldn’t make it true; I have 6 more years until then, but in MY eyes, I’m nearly 21” and of course, being NEARLY 21, doesn’t make it legal for me to drink yet, now does it? It won’t convince the cops of anything except a minor in possession of alcoholic beverages. But enough about that, I’m going off on a completely different subject) who has the need to type unnecessary letters, or words that don’t exist, or not fully spell out things because the person who’s reading it, apparently “understands” what they’re saying, only because it’s the “PUNK RAWK” thing to do. None of those children know what punk is/was. They weren’t alive then. I can’t say that I was either, yet I’ve actually studied the field. And to clarify for about the fifty-billionth time: NOTHING YOU HEAR ON “KISS FM” IS PUNK. Not yellow card, or good charlotte, or avril lavigne, or pretty much anything you hear on the radio is punk. Unless you have a kick ass classic rock station.
Again, I’m getting off topic. Erm. The moral of the story is… DON’T BE ILLITERATE OR TYPE IN PINK FONT. IT KILLS BRAIN CELLS.
P.S. I blame those “733t” lamers who thought no one could “un-crack their code,” yet 7 year olds did and continue to talk like that to this day, because they’re so “h4x0rz”
p.p.s. (or is it p.s.s.) I know I didn't fully answer this to the extent of my capabilities, yet I have to get some more Kool-Aid now, or my consciousness will have a great downfall
