I used to think correct spelling and grammar were essential...

...turns out that actually meant they were just the only things I was any good at.
Now I love all these crazy apostrophes and txtspk, it's what keeps the language alive and exciting, it's what dragged it out of upper class 19th century salons. it's why we don't all speak like beowulf...
