Wat and Wen?

This is what texting has done to the English language.

First question: what age is the person whom wrote this letter
Second question: What's the context, is this like a formal letter, a note to a friend, an essay (not that any of it makes it acceptable, I'm just curious)

Third: Schools need to start teaching handwriting and grammar again.

A person in their mid-20s writing a formal statement about something they saw to me. Basically this is someone who should know how to spell four letter words. Best part was that "whom" was used in the correct context.

Now I'm not grammar nazi....wait nevermind
whom |hoōm|
pronoun
used instead of “who” as the object of a verb or preposition : [ interrog. pron. ] whom did he marry? | [ relative pron. ] her mother, in whom she confided, said it wasn't easy for her.

USAGE 1 A continuing debate in English usage is the question of when to use who and when to use whom. According to formal grammar, who forms the subjective case and so should be used in subject position in a sentence, as in : who decided this? The form whom, on the other hand, forms the objective case and so should be used in object position in a sentence, as in : whom do you think we should support? or : to whom do you wish to speak?

I cannot do this any longer, I do not care if I am perfectly correct, but at least I can have a post that can be read.

So it has finally come to this........ I never thought I would have earned my "old man" badge at 28. I should have seen the signs when the young folks started calling me sir.

Grammar is a pet peeve of mine.

Can't stand people texting me and say, "What r u up 2?"

I spell EVERYTHING out.

You could read what those other young hooligans wrote, couldn't you? Really? wth does it matter if we kno how to propperly write things out and spell dem all correctly? You can stil read wat im writin, can't u? but really, when ur sayin america should start teachin grammar, maybe u should start ur sentences with capitals, and end ur questions with question marks...
