I see it all the time on Facebook, for goodness' sake- if you are at a keyboard, USE YOUR WORDS! The odd LOL or whatever is fine, but whole sentences? No. Just saw this gem on my facebook wall, from a girl i went to school with:
"NE1 got a sleepin bag i cud borro for nxt wk? Wud need 2 pik it up 2nite."
Now im seriously questioning why she is on my friends list

Are you sure they didn't post it from their phone?

Yeah, because FB lets you know when someone has updated from their phone.

I believe typing like this is grounds for thumb removal. See how they do with out them.

Not always.
If I post from the browser on my droid it is no different than posting from my house.
You can also go to m.facebook.com from your desktop and it will say "Posted from mobile"
Or go http://postedvia.com/ here and post from your toaster
