I try to be gentle on people who do not speak English as a native language or towards people who may be dyslexic. Everyone else is fair game. I can ignore one or two mistakes but consistent or numerous problems need to be pointed out. This isn't exactly a chat room where people type in real time. You have time to make a legible post, and your words are all you have to express yourself. Spelling and grammar are the foundation of your expressions. I don't feel sorry for those who get reamed for laziness rather than for having a legitimate medical condition or from cultural differences.
