Personally, I spend every single day of my life juggling English and French. I hate SpellNazis for either side, primarily because they tend to be ethnocentric at best and bigots at worst... if not outright xenophobic. If people can make ends meet and actually achieve "comprehension," who the hell cares how well they spell?? Your attitude will not only alienate non-anglophone speakers/writers who are struggling on this list, but people with learning disabilities such as Dyslexia. My wife has dyslexia. She sits there at her keyboard with a bloody dictionary when she makes facebook posts because the SpellNazis have almost driven her underground.
