2 things!
1) ever considered people might be dyslexic? (though i'm not it does worth considering before you comment on people's writing skills )
2) I write like this coz I was bought up in a rough area and that is how we communicate (cockney style) and it's not my problem if u don't like it. Infact I loved it, people were more loud and out going in the London area i know compare to the place I live in now.
I hate it because people r so stuck up and arrogant & to be quite frank we need less ppl like that, not more!
I mean in the place i am in now I got told off once for putting the date the "incorrect way" 02/31/2006 instead of 31/02/2006 by my teacher and I asked her "then why do u refer to the the 9/11 as the 9/11 and not the 11/9?
My teacher soon kept quiet then.
My point is people all over the world have different ways of communication and people change there language sometimes to communicate with others. For example people try to learn Turkish here so they can communicate with Turks!
Cockney isn't an offical language I know but when u get into certain parts of London it kind of is
For example, I got to a kebap shop which is run by Turks and to communicate with them I have a small conversation with them in Turkish everytime I go in there and also order my food in Turkish, because although they speak cockney like myself it is always good to notice and respect other ppls way of communication dnt u think?

Welcome back to the "Teenage Blog Site" Offfffffffff. 
Yes Kai, your way of writing the date IS the incorrect way. It is correct in USA, but not UK, and YES it does matter. If you fill in forms and official documents and get it wrong, it DOES. If you are given a date for an appointment such as 03/08 how will you know if its August or March? Your argument to your teacher was ridiculous - the reason that tragic day is called 9/11 is because that is the CORRECT way to write the date in the USA, which is where it happened.
Yes, it is good to respect other people's way of communicating, which is why it is helpful to try and write your English correctly so that non-native English speakers can read it more easily.
Maybe it would be an idea to learn your native language before embarking on a foreign one...
