People clamouring to defend bad spelling/grammar pisses me off more than people accidentally making bad spelling/grammar mistakes because they don't know any better. Indeed, I know I make spelling and grammar mistakes all the time, but I don't defend them.

"The English language evolves," is still not an excuse. Can't is not, and will never be a word. It is two words. Even abbreviated it is still two words. And "cant" can not, in any way, shape, or form, stand in for "can not" without that apostrophe.

... Okay, I think I'm done.

I too was told that we do not use the word "alright"! I wonder if it's an Australianism. I mean, we are pretty contrary bastards.

...dude I should ... make icons and stuff for this account.

IT'S NOT ONLY AN AUSSIE THING. Some English teachers just hate it.
