You can't hold people to the standard of spelling correctly on Twitter and in text messages.

Nah, OutsiderFan is correct. 140 characters means you have to trim here and there on occasion.

Besides, there's nothing holy about spelling and usage anyway; it's just a shared convention to make sure we're mutually comprehensible. Since people are perfectly understandable on Twitter, they usage conventions there are pretty much fine. There are different standards for different media, and I certainly wouldn't be writing "Nah" on a formal essay. Probably.
