And by the way, I DO personally think spelling is important, so don't try to pull this crap with me.

Here, here! Spelling is important!
Sure I can read it when the letters aren't in the right order -- I don't remember when my advisor last spelled "the" correctly in an email to me instead of his usual "teh" -- but that doesn't mean it is ok. I know that spelling errors in IM conversations and emails cause me to alter my response. I am much more of a smart ass and I delay my responses when there are typos. I suspect anyone that appreciates proper spelling alters their behavior when confronted with typos too, though they may not be aware of it.
I'm not even going to touch how much IM shortcuts like "r u" for "are you" irritate me. "LOL" and other acronyms are fine, but using single letters really irks me.
