Spelling and grammar are the "spectacle" level of language. The key is the meaning behind the words.
As illustrated in the photo above - the message is easily read even with most of the letters and numbers in a complete jumble.
Granted as an English teacher overseas I have to fill in the gaps to get what many students are trying to say. And most times I can get the meaning. That is the point of language. To converse and to be understood regardless of errors in grammar or even word usage. The other day I was watching an episode of Star Trek TNG and the character said jealous when he should have said envious. However, those two words are often used interchangeably - even though they should not be used interchangeably.
