Why would you *WANT* to appear to be sloppy/lazy/illiterate? Sorry, but
I don't understand that kind of behavior. Is it really that much harder
to write properly? Are you in that much of a hurry that you can't do
it?

It is a younger generation thing, the generation that grew up with text messaging, etc. Those of us who had texting introduced later probably still try to be grammatically correct.

Also, I am pretty certain they've quit stressing grammar as much in schools.

Well, the truth it's MSN/AIM/Jabber have better capabilities than SMS's even
in Europe thus, writting like that looked like an uneducated chav/illiterated trashy teen everywhere. Later, with smartphones, I agree with you, the
traits got widespread.

What do they do when they get to college? College's no longer check grammer > students papers? Or did they do away with writing papers too?

When a College gets an avalanche of ignorant morons instead of the students they are expecting, they are forced to lower their standards.

If the Engineering College starts getting students who left High School ignoring what the Moment of Inertia of a body is, they will have to adapt theirplans. They won't be able to assume students know it and will have to teach it
themselves.

This is the reason why you have 2nd year College students who are still learning the basics.

I've seen that in Spain too, it's crazy. The things is at pre-Uni HS "split" between
humanities and science, either branch enforces you to be able to parse a Spanish book
as if you were a damn Cervantes or a member of the Royal Academy of the Spanish
Language setting up the standards. OTOH, you can entirely omit Maths in Humanities,
as my SO did. And, heck, Math it's logical; try to parse complex nested phrases (oración suborndinada, I don't know how to translate it, you basically use a sentence
as an object for another one) in Spanish and a mid-difficult integral it's a breeze.
