    Because they have very little else to do except point out the short-comings of other people and when you're on a computer, spelling is an obvious target.

    I do agree, you don't need to nit-pick every time something is not perfect, and I'm not just talking about spelling.

    Many times the misspelling changes the meaning of what you were trying to say, and other times it just makes it difficult to decipher. And like the other person said, it's annoying! Plus, poor spelling is my pet peeve!

    if you spell a word wrong it could turn out to be another word, and totally have people confused. also, it might be hard to know what the person is talking about if you can't read what they are saying. take a look at this.

    spelling is confusing

    There is a difference in misspelling and writing an incoherent sentence or question. Everyone misspells or leaves a letter out occasionally. If it is for something important ,then proofread and correct it but this is a more casual writing arena..
