It's a valuable skill.
Sorry, I had to get that out. Nothing personal freaky, I've just read so many posts where my eyes and brain have hurt after two minutes in, and if I keep reading my IQ plummets.

Sadly, I think it's reflective of the way written communication is going. Our failing public education system, changes in the way we communicate due to advancements in computer technologies, and the "on the go" fast pace of modern society has replaced formal written language for a sort of quasi-text message/L33T speak. Similar parallels could be drawn throughout the evolution of English linguistics, as well as every other language. This is just another in a long line of informal transitions. My only hope is that these kids are bright enough not to write this way on resumes/curriculum vitae.
