They built something really powerful on the back-end but made all kinds of ridiculous assumptions about how customers would want to use it. Then, when people would ask for features or changes, they'd have this kind of "you get what you get" attitude. Totally insane. I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped offering their own search on their site fairly soon. That project was severely mismanaged.

Misspell everything, even your mother's name, insert punctuation incorrectly at best, play games with grammar that push the bounds of literacy to the outermost extremes, but at least capitalize the first word of each sentence and all proper names and nouns - you're not on IM or Twitter at the moment, after all - are you? The basic rules of writing have not gone the way of the wind online, you are not "cool" or "l33t" for writing in all lowercase, and using your thumbs on your iPhone is a weak excuse that implies I should feel sorry for you for using an expensive phone that "forces" you to communicate poorly. I don't. Basic capitalization is the least I ask.
