Lol, you rock.

Adidasss; It's just not as embarrassing to the Western world anymore, to spell like complete morons. In 1990 if you spelt like crap, people would call you on it and you'd probably call yourself dumb. In 2007, you're rarely called on it, and if you are, you're excuse is that it's cool, you're modern, and everyone's doing it.

Most people still like to spell properly so as not to come across as complete tossers but the variance is pretty huge compared to 20 years ago, or even 10.
