I'm not convinced that textspeak can be synonymous with illiteracy. There are tons of people that use texting shorthand just because it's good for that. While there may be some that don't know better, I don't think it makes sense to assume illiteracy through textspeak. Either way, the dialect of HF didn't become the status quo, why have that concern here?
Knowing the rules, as in knowing English grammar, is a petty task. It's especially arbitrary to need to show it through fame. And as you should know, the merits of artistic works don't ride on their author's fame or history. You're conflating your own concerns over the sanctity of language with the mission of an artistic work. Ignoring unsavory aspects of reality is absolutely not the mission of art, so attacking the work on those grounds is pretty futile.
