Not quite punctuation but similar: "The Wall Street Journal quotes Jason Tan of Sift Science saying certain typos red-flag a fraudster. The abbreviated “ur,” the misspelled “happend,” a dislike of capital letters, all indicate the writer is more likely to commit fraud, says Tan."

The punctuation I use (or omit) is designed for dramatic effect rather than to please a handful of coffin-dodging pedants.
Such people have failed to grasp that it's one's ability to convey meaning which is considered important these days, rather than the addition or omission of a bunch of squiggly marks on the page.
Similarly, "SMS" abbreviations such as "ur" and "@" etc., are acceptable in electronic communications where brevity is more important that the niceties of grammar and punctuation.
Get with the script.

It's difficult to punctuate the way the Jocks speak because every vowel is pronounced incorrectly. That's why HM QE ll always has a big grin on her face whenever she pitches up there. She can't understand a word they say. Me neither.

Every time "HM QEII" pitches up here with that title, it's an affront.
Tick Tock.
