I need a little translation help, please.
It will help me put some of my e-mails in perspective.

The following did not translate.
***************************************************
que me avices (avices)
escantaria antes de morir podre (escantaria & podre)
que sentir verguenza de mi en un futuro (verguenza)
No te preocupers (preocupers)
fotos tomadas con mi webcam (tomadas)
te quiero muchoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo no lo dudes (I think I got that one, but it was worth sharing)
GRACIAS X ESCRIRMME. (escrimme)
********************************
Don't try to string these together into a thought.
They are excerpts from my accumalated stuff this week.

Am I illiterate? Are they? Slang? Mis-spelling?
I could use some help from a native , please.

fotos tomadas con mi webcam (tomadas)

te quiero muchoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo no lo dudes (I
think I got that one, but it was worth sharing)

I care about you soooooooo much do you doubt that. (Note Te Quiero is often mistaken for I love you, some cultures use it as that literal meaning but most of the time it means i have deep feelings for you but not love more like deeep like)

GRACIAS X ESCRIRMME. (escrimme)

Thank you and write back! or Thank you for writting me (this girl has horrible grammar)

Avisar = to inform / let someone know.
Alistate = Get ready
You have the words "encantar" & "espantar" mixed up.
Podre = to be able to

I can't figure out what "escantaria" is supposed to be. "podre" I suspect is supposed to be pobre. It would be much more likely that she would use the phrase "morir pobre" than put the verb at the end like a poem, "morir podre". "Podre" with an accent on the final "e" would be the first person future tense of "be able", meaning "I will be able to", in this case to die, "morir". In all likelihood it was meant to be "morir pobre". "Escantaria antes de morir pobre", is supposed to say there is something that she would do, or prefer to do, in preference to dying poor. I can't guess what "escantar" is supposed to be, although perhaps it is supposed to be "escapar", I would escape or leave before dying poor.
The final line is meant to be "escribirme", ie, write me. Properly written in the familiar command form, it would be "gracias y escribeme", with an accent over the "i" in "escribeme".

"escantaria" - yes I think you are right, she meant to write "encantaria".

If I posted some of the emails my chica has sent to me you guys would flip out. The spelling is horrible. I've had Mente translate for me and even he has a hard time. Kind of a shame actually.

OK what's up In the CR educational system that this is so common? These Chicas are bright eyed girls & smart as we all know the get the best part of our wallet. CR is suppose to be one of the most literate countries. Hate to get a letter from a NICA!!

A statistic that I just heard today was that 2/3 of the country has not graduated from high school.
