I have decided that, for myself, without judging others, I do my best to police my own spelling/grammar as a consideration and courtesy to those with whom I would like to communicate accurately.

I have noticed that non-native English speakers often speak more accurate English than many people whom I've known growing up in America. I find that in communication with them that I wish to improve my own accuracy in communication, so as to not spread doubt in the minds of others as to their own competence at speaking a language with which they are not completely familiar.

To be more truthful, I have been known to flay the hides off the ignorant when they become adamant about things of which they are uninformed. Using spelling as a sometime target to try to get them to engage their critical thinking from any available angle. If they are thinking, I find they have less energy to be emotional.

There is something to be said for the evolution of language, unfettered by the chains of standardization and sociological manipulation. Creativity can be stifled by undue limits on the use of language. R. Buckminster Fuller would have been a linguistic political prisoner in a state that punished the creation of new words with prison.

China has outlawed slang, sarcasm, and even fiction at different points in it's history, for various reasons. Most recently, I think it was for word recognition surveillance programs the government uses to monitor the people. I'm sure misspelled words would not help such programs succeed.

There are many aspects to this subject. I agree that each would benefit from making a positive effort to engage in genuine, earnest communication without the games of using spelling/syntax/semantics against others.

Socrates is supposed to have said "The beginning of wisdom is the defining of terms."

It has also been said, by whom I do not know, "The Devil is in the details and God is in the detail."
