Repetitive incorrect spelling, and either a lack of punctuation or excessive punctuation can make understanding the intent and meaning of the written word more difficult. Try as we may, when words and punctuation are scrambled, something likely will get lost in the transmission of the idea the writer intended to share with us.
Think of it this way. Incomplete or careless sentence structure is like the guy who walks into a party with his zipper down. He almost, but didn’t quite finish dressing properly. He begins talking with the group and may have something important to say, but if we’re distracted we’re not listening intently, more likely our minds wander and we wonder, “does he know his zipper is down? Should I tell him his zipper is down? Why did he use three exclamation points?
If the intent is to keep ‘em guessing, admittedly it’s a rather effective technique.

and why are there multiple exclamation points?
I agree, this is a sign of a much deeper, more troubling, issue. One not exactly suited for discussion in a family friendly environment like PW. But then neither are the use of too many commas. And god forbid the sucker that uses too few.
But I agree, with you, the question is, what are we gonna do, about it?
