> i think proper grammar is mostly a waste of time... It is is you think that clear communication is also the waste of time. I may tolerate someone who cannot write properly because they never learnt (or are non-native speakers, like myself), but when someone can write properly but chooses not to—I cannot see that in any other way but the lack of respect to the target audience. "You cannot decipher some gibberish I wrote? Your problem"—this is arrogant. And to the hell with popular culture where signal to noise is so low that you cannot see the signal any more.
