Every time I see someone correct a persons spelling or grammar on a forum I see a big sign that says "I'm a privileged arsehat who thinks that I am better than other people just because I can spell."

There are so many reasons that people make spelling errors - perhaps they have a disability, perhaps English isn't their first language, perhaps they are phonic spellers and they have trouble with the look of words.

Personally, I struggle with the written word a lot as a symptom of an illness I have - to the extent that I type everything in a Word doc first, spell check it and then paste it into the forum.

It's a pretty shitty thing to find self worth in the demeaning of other people.
