Why can't people use even basic grammar in emails?

Actually, this was my first thought when I read this thread, but in a different direction - In the past I've worked with "higher" functioning mentally handicapped people (not dyslexia or ADD that can be "worked around.") They hold down sheltered jobs and, in my mind, should be allowed the hobby of their choice if they can accomplish what is required. Can't they use craigslist too?

Sure, they can. They usually don't, but they can. These posts weren't written by folks who are intellectually handicapped, they were written by people who simply don't care.

Sometimes, there is entertainment to be had. I saw a post somewhere the other day from a fellow selling a snake. He said it had 'great regime'.
Quite a feat, isn't it? lol...
