Maybe all of the above. I don't understand it, either, and most of the sloppy typing I see here gives me a headache. Either people don't pay attention in school anymore or standards have become lax. It's also more than likely a lazy way of typing. Some people think that to type quickly, one must use many abbreviations and short-cuts. It isn't so. I can type and text message perfect sentences with perfect spelling faster than my cousin can with the shortcuts. (I type 75 wpm with 0 errors.)
Incorrect spelling, puncutation and grammar does seem to be "in", but I hope you, like me, will not decide to get up with the times. It was nice to be able to answer a question I could actually read.

Missy, I'm guessing you're just kidding here, because your entry's got some misspelled words (to say nothing of the grammatical errors):
"a lot" is not one word (this is a very common mistake)
the word is spelled "sense"
the possessive of "man" has an apostrophe: "man's"
