I think it depends on what age group you are in, or were in, when you got involved with social networking and/or texting. I'm probably on every social networking site out there except for LinkedIn, and obviously, I can and do use complete sentences and (mostly) acceptable grammar and punctuation. My grammar failings can be blamed more on my regional and cultural heritage than on social networking.
But I'm also 45 years old. So again, obviously, I didn't start being involved with these types of shortened communication until well after my own patterns of communication had been formed.
