I saw this,

"Funniest. Thread. Ever."

[really] recently in a post. It's certainly not Standard English, you almost certainly won't see it in an academic paper or the bible.

But effective English - you're damn tootin'! Obviously much more so than the standard or the writer wouldn't have chosen this style.

@JTT,
I find where colloquial language being used in print - even slang - as becoming the trend.

@JTT,
At least they spelled you're right. I can't believe how many people don't seem to realize that means you are and your means possession.
