Agreed. It honestly amazes me how some people place such little value on the ability to express themselves through words. Being able to articulate yourself is of utmost importance if
a) You want people to understand what you're saying
b) You wish to be taken seriously and
c) You don't want to come across like an illiterate fool.
I totally appreciate that people have different levels of English, but given that there is a tool provided to avoid such basic spelling errors I think it's incredibly lazy to ignore it, particularly when persistent use of it may lead to such errors being eradicated in the future.
