Mistakes are just how to learn. :) It all sounds cool to me and a lot like our kids.
I think our kids in part have been amenable to not using lilspeak because they aren't that motivated (yet anyway) to communicate with other lils online much - when they do it tends to be one-on-one.
We don't enforce any global standard on our kids, we just pretty much guide them towards standard english as the language of choice. Some people in our system aren't native english speakers either - a couple are french and Lynn's group has their own internal language that is something like english but not, which is confusing.
Add a brain injury we had that caused damage with our visual processing and some days dealing with words is like screaming underwater. Of course that doesn't stop us from wanting to be writers and being an editor - sigh. Language is a Big Fucking Deal in our system.
