I don't agree that it is off-topic. It is confuses and obfuscates the
information. If someone insisted on consistently using incorrect syntax for
code examples we would no doubt be in agreement that he/she should be asked
to stop. The same should go for obvious abuses on the English (or any
other) language. We need to be as clear as possible when communicating our
issues. Corrupting the language (whether programming or any other kind)
should not be tolerated.

FWIW, I agree with Danny -- I find such usage harder to read, and it
does tend to make me ignore the post in question. It is also
annoying, and if anything, suggests laziness on the part of the
poster.
Of course, this whole thread is totally off-topic and doesn't belong
here for that reason in the first place.
