Probably the same thing that's up with ThIs, Siht, and THIS, if you get my meaning. They don't have a reason.

They probably say it on Microsoft Word and thought "Hey, another way to irritate(sp) the literate and seme-literate people on the internet."

The question mark is at the... beginning?

EDIT- Hey, maybe they're just dyslexic.

It's very sad. People just talk like that beacase:
A) They want attention
or
B) They are too lazy to spell out words.

I don't think that B works, it's as hard and harder to spell things out backwards.

I don't even try to read that kind of writing.

One time, I opened a room which was Gambino's Literate Fishers. This one guy came in and said "ShadowSheath: i are literaht" and "ShadowSheath: el oh elj" (which I won't even try to translate), and I responded "metalmalzan: You jest. A toddler could type better than you.", which made him immediately shut up.

*giggles at that* Well... I think it must be a plea for attention... I mean, they're punctuating and capitalizing backwards, but how is that laziness? *tries it* It takes more effort! *ponders* Attention. The sad, desperate plea for attention.

Hm, good question. Maybe it's because they're all hoi polloi zombies and do it because their friends do it and they think it will make them seem like "one of the group". It's all a part of popular culture conformation.
