Pretentious people on the internet frequently abuse this mechanic to make themselves look smart.
Proper grammar IS NOT a gauge of intelligence. Why don't more people use perfect grammar on the internet? Becuase they aren't writing academic papers online; they're writing in colloquialisms which other people understand. Many smart people talk colloquially because THEY ARE PEOPLE WHO GREW UP IN SOCIETY.
And if you find the need to prowl around the internet, fixing people's grammatical errors to make yourself feel good then...you don't recognize that ultimately, the English language is meant to be used as a form of communication, and not a way to make yourself look smart.
tl;dr : people rnt complete dumbshits just bcuz they type like this so stop being such a grammar nazi

Person A: Your wrong. Your argument is compltely flawed because of A, B, and C.
Grammar Nazi: IT'S "YOU'RE", NOT "YOUR" AND YOU SPELLED "COMPLETELY" WRONG. Therefore I have proven that your level of intellegence is so far below mine that it would be a waste of time arguing with a Neanderthal like you. No, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT AD HOMINEM IS.

Something ridiculously stupid and useless because pretty much every time someone uses bad grammar or spelling you can still understand what they are saying. People using bad grammar is a lot less annoying than people who go around correcting it.

Grammar is an ancient relic discovered recently. It was a technique that regular people use every day. Sadly, the use of grammar has decreased and is now obsolete.
Archeologists have recently discovered an important piece of our history- called grammar.
It steadily decreased during the 20th century.

a system of understanding a language using proper sentence structure, uses of words and their functions in a sentence, spelling, and other things.
Grammar is sometimes thought of as obsolete because it seems that no one cares to use it anymore. However, there is nothing wrong with abandoning grammar online because that is it what it is meant for! All of you who are making fun of people who use abbreviations on the internet are stupid, because that is the point, you are supposed to be able to say things quicker, even if it means spelling "for" as 4!
