I‘m confused with one problem.
When u are chatting with someone whose mother tongue is English，do u really care about the grammar and wording？

It has been my experience that when people are chatting, the plan is to be understood as quickly as possible. In that case, grammar and wording are not important.

No, it doesn't matter. Shorthand and even a random error is perfectly fine in chat. However, proper grammar and wording will matter a lot if you write anything longer, eg. essays, stories, emails, blogs, and so on. In these cases, "chat-speak" is not good enough.

In the case of chatting and having general conversations, proper grammar and wording shouldn't matter as long as the content is clear to each other.

You don't need to care .. but if someone's mother toungue is English and he/she has been to school for a while (I meant to say literate) then they wont speak many grammatically wrong sentences anyway

No Elaine, as long as you can understand one another.
