Does it bother you to see someone type so incredibly bad that it is illegible?

If it's way too poorly written, I think it does show a disrespect for the reader ... a kind of passive aggressive behavior.
Especially if it's really over-the-top horrible ... like people doing it to give the impression of being real L33t D00Dz ... or a whiny sociopath with a face full of safety pins and a bone in their nose ... or all down wit da shtreet. They can keep that shyte to themselves.
Although on HBT ... I've not really read many that bother me too much ... provided I can actually understand what they're asking.

What does bother me though is when I'm trying to solve a problem online, getting info on fixing an appliance or car or some other data, and peoples questions or responses are unintelligible and I can't understand WTF they're saying. Just makes more work for me.
 
99% of my posts are from the mobile app. So you can pretty much bet there will be a period where a comma should be because it is easier to hit space twice on my iPhone then go to a different text screen. just like this one. But I still don't think It's too bad.
 
Meh, we could still figure out what he said. (I thought he was either trolling or being ironic.)

But, the phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno't mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

Could you by any chance post that backwards and upside down? That might make it a little tougher.
