Well, I usually do not neglect proper spelling. Sometimes i will write in shorthand because it is easier. Also this rap crap has them (us, I should say) thinking it is cool to use double-negatives.. I am from Texas so i will say 'ain't' now and again.

Because just like most people, regardless of age, are lazy, or flat out just don't care. But I have to agree that some teens use "short-hand" because it's quicker.

Well, not all teens do that. I don't. Haha.. . Hmm... Maybe because they are lazy, or they don't bother to look up words when they spell wrongly and just keep it that way. Or maybe they just don't have good grammar/spelling!
