Not everyone can help it pal. I don't suffer from it (My excuse is I'm just not very good at English sometimes...I'm human lol) but my GF had the math version, Dyscalculia. Doesn't matter. As long as it's readable then I don't see the problem.
I can't help but picture Grammar Nazis as people who'd try grouping up the dyslexics and putting them in gas chambers. Cause technically that's what Nazis did to Jews like. Just saying :S
I tend to be a grammar Nazi when I'm speaking Spanish (it would be so preposterous when speaking English) and I have no problem with dyslexics, it's a problem they have, not their fault. My problem comes when people claim it's easier and "cooler" to spell with a thousand mistakes. How can it be easier? When I mispell on purpose, I have to stop and think how to do it, spelling right comes naturally.
Besides, we use a language for communication, and if someone alters that language in a way I can't decipher, that communication fails. A good use of language will make communication succesful, specially on Internet forums, where there are many unnecesary fights due to part of the meaning is lost (there's no intonation of the voice or certain gestures that can change the meaning of a given phrase).
