We all do things in life that annoy others, Surely spelling mistakes can be over looked. :wink:

....A Warm Welcome back, TC! :drinking:
I agree about being tolerant of dyslexia and also accept that some folks are poor at spelling. However, I think it's fairly obvious when someone simply hasn't bothered to write in a manner which others can easily understand. I'm referring to the use of txt-speak (on forums) and absolutely no punctuation or use of capital letters.
If they can't be bothered to ask us for help in a way which is easily understood, why should we bother to spend extra time trying to understand their question?

I don't think the OP directly meant spelling mistakes, more the use of wrong words in a given context - brought and bought is the perfect example of it.
Hell, if it wasn't for the spell checker I'd make loads of spelling mistakes! :grin:

Spelling mistakes are one thing, but that's not what the OP is on about.
My big bugbear is when people make simple mistakes like:
accept/except
affect/effect
complement/compliment
decent/descent
discreet/discrete
enquire/inquire
personal/personnel
precede/proceed
principal/principle
queue/cue
stationary/stationery
there/their/they're
wander/wonder
For me, this can detract from the post.
