Extra slack? LOL! How many bloody languages do you speak/write? 
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.
