ADHD may have something to do with it, but I suspect that a larger part of it is that everyone nowadays are trying to become a programmer, Software Engineer or whatever you call it. There are literally thousand and thousands of courses in all countries. So if you have many thousands of students, we can expect some of them to turn to here.
And there are always people in every class that try to find an easy way out.
I agree, writing proper English is a basic requirement to be in the computer profession. Using text-style writing and stuffing a three-letter abbreviation with no actual meaning to it in every sentence doesn't add much to the "this person sounds like he/she knows what he/she is talking about".
