    Ah, but it is still writing, and still English. The written language
    has not changed enough to accomodate nor tolerate improper writing,
    improper spelling and improper grammar. Orchid, for all its
    family-like atmosphere is still a business forum. It is not a casual
    chat room where posts written entirely in small letters, and
    abbreviations such as "brb" and "2" instead of "to" are considered
    proper or correct ways of communication. Writing incorrectly and
    excusing it as "the way things are done on the internet" is just
    plain laziness, IMPO. 

Donning my flameproof suit here,
