Can't we all just ease up and realize that cutespeak is in vogue these days, particularly anywhere on the internet (I mean 'the net', the 'web' or online) Creativity is to be celebrated, or just ignored, not railed about on 'Tweeters' - or you can write to individuals with a private message expressing your exasperation.
