Web 2.0 isn't the cause of the problem, but can be a venue where some of the bigger deficiencies manifest themselves.   "More communication, more often" is generally a good thing as long as it doesn't result in miscommunication.  Freely admit to being "dorkier than thou" when it comes to the 2.0 universe.

Wht r u sayin? lolz!!

No seriously, when I am IM'ing, some things go by the wayside. I really disagree that web 2.0 is the death of English. I think more communication, more often is a good thing. But there's also nothing dorkier than backtracking to correct a minor typo. It immediately labels you as a rube. And the IM shortcuts are interesting because they are their own language. They have a grammar, and there's a right way and a wrong way to use these terms.

If you want to get concerned about grammar and syntax, record your conversation for a couple of days. Most of us do not speak in entire sentences, let alone grammatically.
