I find this to be mostly true on forums like Facebook.

mr bent... i have decided... thru careful introspection... that like everything in my life... i have perverted said ......... to suit my own basic needs... from this point on... as ms jordan... my fav english teacher... is my witness... i will never say ellipsis again... long live the dots!

as for shatting.... itsa lotta work and a pain in the arse...

and
on a real note...

several thangs contribute to the perversion that is my speech here... laziness... convenience... and... i tell myself efficiency adds to it... thats prolly bullshit tho... being from the south and typing it like i say it is another reason...
learning shorthand all those years ago contributed to my fonetik problems...
other than that---------
i was always a fan of ee cummings... and... hated faulkner who wrote the longest sentences in the history of the world it seemed to me and i have a tendency to do what punctuation tells me to do something i wish i didnt do but i again give nods to ms jordan who was a hella woman...

Unfortunately, I wayyyyy over-use punctuation on here. For me, I use commas and ..... to emphasize, so to speak. If anyone has heard me actually talk and heard this thick Southern accent that I have, you'll know that I tend to speak with a lot of pauses and emphasis on things (and a lot of drawl on my words). When writing, I tend to use commas especially, to show the emphasis. Basically, I write how I talk. (And I say talk instead of speak, cause, well...lol) Unfortunately, I guess when reading from someone else's perspective, I probably look like a comma crazed maniac, or at very least, a serial punctuation-ist.
