Access deniedI have personal sources that say Peter Noone is a satan worshipper and baby eater.But anyway, point taken.

I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't put my head that far up my ass.

Just to make sure you did get my point: I'm completely on your side. I think everyone should use their time writing to practicing writing. Use the right words spelled correctly in the proper order. That you happened to be the one who left the space out of "no one" is unfortunate. It would have better illustrated the possibility of misinterpretation of ambiguous English had pelican committed the error. As it is, it will be interpreted as "nobody is perfect." No one is perfect, but does that somehow excuse the need to try?More in line with the OT:I am dyslexic. I do not have the advantage of the first and last letters being in the right place, nor even words being in the right order. Yet, I can read. It wasn't easy and a little practice goes a long way. Let me offer a few (very few) pieces of expertise:

1. the context is simple. "See Dcik run." hardly gives one a challenge relative to "Panderiestil catdande Senstoven was ubiltantamsky an escatogitil hoppyotrait." (peek)
   "Presidential andidate Stevenson was unmistakably an egotistical hypopatriot."
   is a bit more difficult.
2. The scrambled word doesn't form something with similarities to a real word or another word.
3. There are lots of 1, 2 ,3 and 4 letter words. I is amazing how much "and" "the" and the various "to be's" are clues to context.
4. Punctuation isn't equally neglected.
5. You care.

pelican, unless you believe yourself to be endlessly fascinating, pay extra attention to #5.Edited by lyx2no, : Contained an ambiguous construction.

That wasn't the point of the OP. What the ??????????????????

My bold.Who has been ignored?

I suppose it's more of a 'what' that is ignored. Full posts but mainly the whole point of the posts.

You don't make your reader do the work you should be doing. Unless you think the reader cares more about what you have to say than you do.According to the OP:was the whole point.Edited by lyx2no, : Spelling

What is the big problem when the word is recognizable and in context?

The word is always recognizable and in context to the writer. That is why the writer should not be the judge of such things. And then I guess it isn't that important if all one has to say is "See Dick run." or "Sally has a ball."; though, it is hard to make that endlessly fascinating. But if one has a complex idea to get across one can't be certain how the audience is going to interpret ambiguities.

Or not understood and subsequently ignored because of crappy spelling and grammer.

Larni, I don't get your point because you've spelled Grammer wrong.

Ouch and touche.As I have made a mistake in spelling I now throw my lot in with you: is is acceptable to be careless with spelling and grammar.Back to reality. Repeated spelling and grammar mistakes correlate in our heads with a lack of credibility. This is the same effect as Hill Billy correlating in his head long words with arrogance.If you want a technical reason look up the fundemental attribution error.It ain't fair or right but that's how our brains are wired to work: some say by a god. Go figure what he was thinking.Edited by Larni, : Inevitable spelling mistakes.

I didn't mean to get you. I meant that because I focussed on your honest mistake, I ignored the point you were making. What was it again? Ahh good judgement! I will go by your rules and judge your post as not credible because bloody hell, Larni, you've spelled fundamental wrong. Gee I'm exasperated. That is very naughty.By the way the definition of 'fundy attributes' sounds like a mental disorder.

Aargh!Hoist by my own petard!I guess I'm not the poster boy for this arguement, eh? The fundamental attribution error has nothing to do with fundamentalism: it is social psychology.

Yeh I know. I looked it up to check my spelling. ha haI think it is a perfect social psychological condition that supports my OP. Ta mate!
