About language and the primary purpose there of.
In language, far too many people are more concerned with if a word is misspelled or if there is an error in grammar than what they should be concerned with.
And that is the content of the message.
The PRIMARY PURPOSE of a language is to COMMUNICATE!
PERIOD!
END OF STORY!
The facts are that while using both perfect spelling, and perfect grammar, it is still very possible to NOT communicate the desired message.
This is PROVEN over and over again by legal documents, some assembly instructions, government regulations and other such things.
So, even with all of this "perfectness" the PRIMARY purpose of the language was NOT achieved.
Thus, it was a total FAILURE!
On the other hand, MOST people who can read english, can read the following and understand what it says!
-------------------
It's Prttey fnuny how we can raed tihs einrte snetnece wtih all tehse ltters all out of palce, and we can cnotniue to keep raednig and sitll mekas snece of waht we are raeding. No mttar how mnay tmies you raed tihs oevr and oevr you can sitll mkae snece of it.
How is taht pssoible?
Answer:
As long as the first and last letter of the word is in its correct position, you can position the middle letters in any order and still make sence of it.
Our eyes just glance at he first and last letters of a word.

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. I's da phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid! Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas thought
slpeling was toe ipmorantt.

The FACTS ARE:
IF the DESIRED communication IS
ACHIEVED, then ANY incorrect grammar and/or spelling are NOT germain.
They are of NONE, NO, ZIP CONSEQUENCE!
They are of NO importance, they are NOT needed, NOR are they required.
When the desired communication has been achieved then the ONLY people
who worry about improper grammar or misspelled words are anal retentive, supercilious, troglodyte nit- pickers who have nothing better to do with their time than to birch about totally unimportant things.
