How much does it bother you that people type so poorly on the internet?

It's obvious that some people aren't entirely uneducated, but, why do people insist in writing so poorly at the computer when they wouldn't do it with their hand writing. It's already easier and quicker by default, yet people keep skipping letters or rearranging them in incomprehensible orders.

Are you annoyed by this? Are you capable of reading their messages always and without issues?

The problem here is not when they make a typo by accident. That happens with all of us; I'm incredibly prone to that which is why it's good I keep a dictionary add-on in Firefox.

The problem is moreso when the "rule" of the first and last letter in place stop applying, with the letters on the middle aren't just misplaced, but when people plain and simply steal letters altogether from it and mash up the rest. When not only they do this with one word but every, single, one from their whole message!

Sure, you can still perceive them, but then it's almost like if rather than english we're all using l33t speak.
