: why am i being brought up in ur pathetic excuse of living??
If you're just making throwaway comments, it doesn't overly matter how you write them, apart from them not looking aesthetically pleasing. However, if you're trying to make a point, you lose an enormous amount of impact because of the poor spelling, grammar and spelling words like "your" as "ur". It makes whatever you have to say difficult to read and hard to take seriously, as it's not written in a serious manner.
It's your decision how you wish to write messages, but you shouldn't be surprised if people take issue with you about it. Insults also lose impact - saying "why am i being brought up in ur pathetic excuse for living?" isn't going to work if the person for whom it's intended is pitying you for your lack of English skills.
