Sadly, I've met adults at my community college who can't even spell at that level. The future of America looks bleak. I'm moving to New Zealand. Decent weather and no crazy gun control laws from my researching. I'm sold.

Who knows...it could be a middle aged/older person. There are still plenty of people out there who dropped out of school and would have never learned how to properly type or spell very good. They could have gone into a trade or something and made their living that way (no offense meant to any trades people...not at all what I'm trying to say).
I wonder if anyone managed to decode the ad and buy anything from him lol.

i think its a combination of a couple factors...
A. technology is partly to blame for being able to surf full HTML on cell phones and the miracle of predictive text input aka T9, T9 only does SOME of the work and you STILL have to correct it
B. the new "l337" speak of said web junkies now days is more than horrible, in their mind I assume they think they are joining the cool crowd for typing like that in general
C. or, its a combination of what I said and what everyone else said lol
personally Im a HS dropout, and never pursued afterwords, so, I think its just the laziness of sheeple I mean people in general. thats why I dont sell or really buy on craigslist, I dont want to buy anything thats verbally f'd up, and IF and or WHEN I call i dont really have the time or mental patience to deal with half assed grammar, same goes if someone calls me on goods.
Ill pay the ebay/PayPal fees

I completely agree! It seems that grammar and proper pronunciation of words isn't worth the time these days. Much cooler to spell phonetically then the proper way. Iz jist dunt undurstend...
