I think what it boils down to is that "yes" does not work as an absolute because there are different levels.
A twitter post where you are limited to 140 chars, for example. There grammar flies out the window in an attempt to communicate under that restriction.
A place like LOLCATS where grammar and etc is intentionally blown off for impact.
A PHD thesis paper needs absolutely perfect English, but under whatever rules that thesis falls under (for example my grad school papers need to adhere to Turabian, 7th edition).
In between there is a wide range. Comes down to knowing your audience and purpose for writing.
