Does anyone else think there is an increasing number of people round here who when faced with a word they don't know can't be bothered to look up its meaning in a dictionary? If they haven't got a 'hard-copy' to hand it only takes seconds to Google a definition. How can they expect to become proficient in a language if they don't find out what its words mean?

I agree with you.
Lately, when I saw people start the sentence with "i" instead of "I".
I skipped that post. I think that those people are just too inconsiderate. They deserve to be"skipped". I usually don't read or respond to a post that does not start with a capital letter. It is basic knowledge since elementary level that we should start a sentence with a capital letter, especially, "I" not "i".
"Thank".. require 5 letters. "Thx" requires 3 letters but I feel weird to came across "Thx". I got a headache when I saw many "Thx"s. However, I forgive those who may not use English properly because they are not native speakers but just a few words such as "thx" is unforgivable. I am sorry to complain.
My American friend complained immediately when he saw too many "i" instead of "I" on some posts. He just felt dizzy and tempted to stop reading the post.
Thank you for raising it.
