I know I have a few times, rare as they may be, it has happened. I don't do it unless it's properly written or in my native tongue though.

Speaking for myself, again as I am an ESL teacher living overseas, I do tend to take the time to read the message if it is in "broken English". However that is likely related to the fact that I don't expect those around me to speak to speak English in a clear and easy to understand fashion in part due to knowing how difficult it is to learn another language, especially one as difficult to learn as English.
