Grammar and Spelling is important, no matter what you are doing. IMing, Posting, Writing a Report, it makes you look smart.

Capital Letters
First, its looks much better to put a Capital for the First letter of the First word in the sentence. Also, use a capital for the first letter of a Name, or important object. When you type the letter, "I", Always capitalize it.
Punctuation
Next, your sentence looks MUCH better when you use a Period at the end of a sentence. It makes you look better, and lets the person know when they can Take a breath after reading your sentence.
Choosing the Right word
Try to steer clear of words like, "Meh," and "Teh." Not only does it make you look a bit retarded, (No offense!) they aren't even real words. Also, try not to use "lol" in every sentence you type.
Spelling
Spelling words correctly is an important part of Writing, typing, and other text based areas. For example, which word looks better? "Liek," or "Like?" Exactly. Now, I can understand if you hit the wrong Key while using the Home row typing technique. (Using both hands and not looking at the letters you hit.) That happens sometimes, and will be forgiven.
