Nice play on words (i.e. threads = clothing)! While "dressing up" even one's informal writing has its advantages, it's still the person (content) that makes the clothes (writing), not the clothes that make the person.

A fundamental of sociology and principle of effective communication is that it's the responsibility of the person trying to communicate an idea to make themselves understood and not the responsibility of the person receiving the message to somehow understand it. If you can accomplished that, I don't particularly care how you write, more power to you.
