So if someone at work comes up to a group of people and tells them "Yo man we gots this news bands and are playing this saturday night, yos gots to watch us."

Your reaction would be to tell the person that you would but considering how bad their speaking etiquette is you must harass them about it to make yourself seem smarter then you are.

My point is that people do things on forums that would never stand in person. That people who tend to point these things out on forums are people who are saying "Hey look at me I am smarter then this guy because he didn't use proper English!"

Just let it go and never do it again, problem solved.

No, its pretty simple. In person we know each other in much greater detail, facial expressions, personality, voice inflection etc, so using slang makes more sense. When you're typing something online to people who don't know you and you can't type a proper sentence it makes you look like an idiot. Its a pretty basic concept.
