U be baader-meinhoffing this shit?
People are dyslexic or not native speakers on here as well. English spelling is insane anyway. People fumble-eff around with giant sausage fingers on small screens. We collectively ruin our sight by constantly looking at screens from a foot away. Mistakes happen. I think I heard the first complaints about bad spelling on the collection of tubes in the late 90s. And we’re still here.

I’m not a native speaker, and our screens have only gotten bigger. Also while you are correct that we may have temporary myopia from looking at screens too upclose, that should not matter when it comes to spelling, since it affects the ability to see in the distance, not from upclose.
