Precise use of language matters, slacking in this area brings on the decay of language and culture. Meaning is important but also being able to respect the intelligence of your conversation partner is a vital motivator in the exchange, or support of ideas.
In essence: don't be a nigger.
language evolves over time, meaning is not lost when you remove the unneeded aspects of the language, i am respecting your intelligence but you are not acting in good faith, it sure seems like you are not respecting my intelligence, you are the one dismissing the idea off hand with out thinking about it, you are the one who is unopen to new ideas, im quite happy to debate the evolution of language but your argument does not hold any water
for starters the English language has been bastardized over the centauries so much that most people cant even understand some thing written just a few hundreds of years ago, if you want to argue that my short hand is eroding culture then you will have to admit that you are doing the same thing by writing in modern English
language evolves or write makes right if you prefer, if everyone started writing in old English or Ye Olde English (which is only early in the grand scheme of thing but oh well im making a point) then you can 'reverse the decay of language'
as for precision, your bra1n cun raed dis, it looks silly yes but we have just proved that precision is not needed to get an idea across, all that is needed is enough for your brain to do the heavy lifting for your eyes and fill in the gaps, your brain does not even read the full word most of the time, this is not new, this is basic shit really
so how does the precise use of language really matters, apart from cleaning up that the strippers, hitler, and stalin are separate people
in essence dont be a sheep, if your only argument is that someone else is wrong because of the way they are typing you are not only a complete idiot you may be missing out on a chance to improve your self by engaging with their ideas rather than shooting the idea down due to their spelling or grammar
if that approach did not work why not look at the surnames of people that support a standardized version of english, it seems that you have fallen for the jewish trap again, a single melting pot makes everything the same and loses the unique flavours that are regional dialects
