Yep. We are now seeing the discarding of things like, grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation. This will end well. [/sarc]

Why punctuation matters:
Comma:
“Let’s eat, Charlie!”
“Let’s eat Charlie!”

Period, Exclamation, and Question mark:
“You’re gay.”
“You’re gay!”
“You’re gay?”

Why capitalization matters:
“I helped my uncle Jack off a horse.”
“I helped my uncle jack off a horse.”

Why spelling matters, even/especially if it is a word:
“I find that roping cattle is great fun.”
“I find that raping cattle is great fun.”

Why syntax matters:
“I’m so afraid.”
“I’m afraid so.”
