directly related to the literacy of their writing; known to be bad
the example is contagious, including in this area. If you don't

Respect our great and mighty!..
10.2 Coolhacker messages of the form "(00│ ├┤А(К3Я") are equal
to a message in a foreign language.
10.3 Although errors and typos are not a punishable offence, they are
but deliberate disregard for spelling as such (e.g.
total absence of capital letters and punctuation) may
be considered a violation, and is equivalent to a message on a foreign
early language. :)
