There's nothing in that about you sing prop, er, English.

I suggest adding the following:

Q: I CAN USE LOLSPEAK IN DISCUSHUNS ON MALEING LIST PLS?
A: DO NOT WANT. NOT FUNNEE. RLY, STOP NAO PLS

Q: What about TLAs?
A: Fine. Even if it means we mistake Douglas N. Adams for a bunch of  
molecular DNA, or Mr Richard Stallman for root mean squared.

Q: What about txtish abbreviations, like "u're" for "you are"?
A: Absolutely not.

(That's assuming that norms and accepted standards do not, in  
themselves, violate the meta-norm of "there's even more ways to  
freakin' do it, and any statements of preference are merely very  
noisy subjective opinions")
