    In my humble opinion there are 3 main reasons.
    1)Technology,texting,social networking sites etc.
    2)A lot of posters whose first langauge is not english,
    3)Laziness on behalf of posters.
    Also prevalent is the misuse of your,you're,their and there,this I put down to poor education

    Well i know my spelling isnt perfect, but i make an effort,I would only have a very basic level of education (left school when i was 15 by necessity not choice) , but i love to read so i presume that has compensated to an extent

    We are told every day here about trolls, there is a discussion going on here and posts like that definitely come under the definition of trolling, This person obviously thinks he cracks us all up but to be honest its humour of a very juvenile nature and not in the
    least funny
