Respect

 When people send emails like this: "i txted u abut the thng we spake abit last park in the hamburger and my mothor told me it 2 it 4 us", it is not respectful for the person receiving the email and also reflects quite poorly on the person sending the email. I actually receive such indecipherable emails at times.

Years ago, before I had a computer, I hired someone to type something for me. There were many many mistakes and it was annoying b/c it meant having to do more work correcting them. I asked that the person look at what they are typing. I was after all paying for this service. I was attacked in return with an incredulous response: You expect us to LOOK at what we are typing?? No way.   

Look at what you typed. It is a minor effort that adds respect to you and the person who will read what you wrote. We all make mistakes from time to time. That is human and understandable. But there is a limit! 

Thnx 4 reding ths pst. Ths iz an imprtnt under rted topik.
