That's the ready-made excuse for the lazy or ignorant to not put any effort into their grammar. That may have flown in 1992 when the internet was in its infancy, but today the vast majority of our communication takes place online, through text or email. This is how we communicate with other human beings, so if it doesn't matter there, where DOES it matter? I'm not sure why the transition from writing by hand to typing dictated that the rules of grammar went out the window but that seems to be the popular opinion.
