Yes, it's the modern illiterate way. I just hope these folks are not expecting to find a job or for anyone to take them seriously if this is the way they write. It may pass in their social circles but in the real world you still have to write properly and this has nothing to do with texting.

A. They arent expecting to find a job or even look...they are expecting to meet a rich man who will support them JUST for being pretty and vain.
B. Yes they are serious and expect you to take them seriously too.
C. Yes, it does pass in their social circles but they also are full of dreamers who expect to showered with luxury goods and remittances.
D. In any event it doesnt really matter if they wrote correctly or not because they still have no knowledge of anything worth writing about.
E. It is your fault for mentioning these glaring idiosyncracies and causing them to lose face.
