Do we respect our language?

Do we respect our language? In this case, I mean Bahasa. It kills me to see all the horribly distorted words on the MASAF forum...not that MASAF is to blame (it's almost all the users). A single word is spelt in so many ways...so are no rules respected any more? The weird thing is that it seems like I'm the only one who cares...

Look here, the French have this "phonetic spelling" as well, but there are people who are against it...isn't there anyone who's against this in Malaysia?

I'm not saying that we should spell everything correctly at all times...it's just that there has to be a limit! Even I distort words sometimes...but it's only when the real spelling simply cannot convey the way it's said! I really don't get how people can stand this horrible disfiguration of our bahasa kebangsaan...if you want to be patriotic, one of the places to start is respecting the national language!
