Grammar

Two things

Firstly: Lately I have often seen people write: abit of
Is this just like a trend or is it grammatical?
Example: abit of shopping
Actually: a bit of shopping

Secondly: Hope I'm not the only one who sees that: Many persons (teenager, on facebook) write 'your' instead of 'you're/you are'. Why?
For example: Your gonna catch a cold. / Your beautiful. / Your back.

Thanks
