My hypothesis is that this question, "What's 'high quality' refer to here?", is a big challenge and the answer depends upon the audience. Here are a few examples:

- kids use one level of slang

- older ages groups using another (and it might mean something quite different)

- communications for professional wouldn't use slang and would use formal messages

- different cultures/regions will use different phrases for the same thing (and some colloquialisms are quite sophisticated like Cockney rhyming slang)

- on twitter when out of space you might then shorten words

The thing that really 'riles me up' / 'get on my wick' / 'annoys me' / 'is immensely frustrating' / 'is an opportunity for a sales feature' [trying to demonstrate the different phrasing depending upon audience] is when the auto correct 'fixes' grammar incorrectly. It needs to be clever enough to realise the correct use of there/their/they're and its/it is/it's.
