in most messaging systems such as facebook and skype people are much less formal and ive gotten used to that. The point is to be able to talk as fast as possible reply as fast as possible and type as fast as possible thats whare the abbriviations came in such as u r instead of you are or btw instead of by the way or gtg instead of got to go. ill try to write the way you wish im just very used to this style from facebook and other messaging systems

I'll add a couple of words.  Grammar, spelling, and punctuation serve at
least a couple of purposes.  Perhaps the most important for the subject
at hand is that they help clarify what is being said.  I couldn't make
much sense out of some of the early stuff.  Second purpose is to show
some respect for the person[s] to whom the correspondence is being
sent.  Seems to me simple politeness says the author should make at
least some attempt to follow the conventions in everyday use.  In what
way is email messaging different from ordinary correspondence or
conversation?

Bottom line is that if something is too garbled to make sense why bother
to reply????
