You deal in way to much hyperbole. The 'forth' reference should be a cry for help on his end for the University of Florida to provide him a better education. It's funny to me that certain people talking smack is 'entertainment' and people that reply back is 'butthurt'. There's no consistency in your line of thinking.
No problem with consistency at all. As I see it, there is a difference between someone responding to his smack talk and bantering back and forth like fans often do, versus the whinny comments from some butt-hurt people complaining about how awful it is for him to be posting mean things about UT on his Twitter account.
And by the way, I also think that people are desperately grasping at straws when trying to put him down with all these critical comments on the "forth" reference.
My college age son's texting makes me cringe. All sorts of typos and much of it simply phonetics instead of actual English. But when he needs to, such as in school assignments, he will use proper capitalization, grammar and punctuation. The point of all that is to suggest that kids on social media pay little, to no attention, to spelling and all of the other things associated with proper English. Jonathan Kongbo, also a college junior when fall classes start, didn't concern himself too much with grammar with his "Bama We Coming" sign did he?
Now, closer to home...if spelling is such a big deal to you then maybe you should proof-read your own posts a little better as that "You deal in way to much hyperbole." should actually have been a "too much". Is it now valid to question the quality of your education because you used the wrong word? Of course not and I'm not doing it, I'm just pointing out how easy it is to have a typo, even when it matters to you, especially if you're on a phone as most of these kids are these days.
To be honest, the whole self-appointed grammar police on message boards has become quite (not "quiet") annoying to me. All that really matters is whether the meaning of your message was conveyed to the readers, weather they're was a typo, or too, doesn't often change the intent of the message, does it?
