What would you rather see happen then? Add a tag to a poster's account saying "dyslexic" ?
I would think that would cause more embarasment. I'm not saying it's right, what I *am* saying, is that you should be realistic. All a person sees of another person, is the words he has typed. Nothing else. So that's what he uses as a basis to make a judgement on it. And if he encounters the kind of spelling-mistakes he has seen 30 times before, where those 30 times it was out of negligence or laziness, he's gonna assume the same thing the 31st time.
So yes, you can be realistic and know it's bound to happen. And yes, Einstein would encounter this very thing if he posted with relative anonymity on this forum.
edit again:
this of course should only work for new posters, since after a few posts, people do start to form an image of somebody based on their history. Your anonymity starts to somewhat fade at that point.
