I speak four languages, American English, British English, Australian English and Strine. I still don't understand American English. British English is different to Strine and can be hard to understand. Australian English is what is taught here in schools but Strine is the language we speak.
American grammar is completely wrong to us Australians and can be very hard to work out what is being said. It's even more difficult to understand why the words are used in the manner that they are. I gave up on trying when I lived in the US. Strine is unique but can be impossible to understand by anyone who is not an Australian. It's sad to see so many American words have infiltrated into our Strine and we are loosing a wonderful part of our identity. This infiltration has come from so many USA films and programs being displayed on TV. The people have accepted what they hear as being "normal" for speech used for communication.
As for correct spelling, I was "forced" into correct spelling and correct grammar when I was a very small child. I was determined to use English the way it is supposed to be used and expressed. The problem was I had a horrific stutter that lasted into my late teens and early twenties. It was so bad, I was unable to pronounce any part of my name. Whilst I was unable to speak, I made sure that I could write and be "heard". English quickly became my means to stand up and be counted. Spelling became an essential part of communication and I excelled in the English subjects at school and college. If you hear me talk you would never guess what I went through in the early years and that I was unable to speak. I am now retired but I loved speaking in front of the hundreds of people who came to the graduation of the students I taught. All I will say about spelling words correctly is that correct spelling and grammar can open doors for you when nothing else can.
I have no qualms or problems with anyone who has trouble with their English expression. Life is not listening for what people can't say or can't spell or how they speak. It's about hearing with your heart and listening to the song that another's heart sings.

your post saying you spoke 4 languages reminded me of a lady at work who along with her husband came to America
from Czechoslovakia she named the 5 she could speak leaving out the one we were using American English,
I've been here 71 years and 11 days and still wonder how anyone ever learns our English.

your right of course
please excuse me I'm sorry for offending you and talking about misspelled words.
I'll say no more about IE 10 and it's word checker
and how one must first use the shift key then F10 key before it shows a list of words
No I won't say that...... I'll just keep anything I've learned to myself
and not pass it on to anyone else who might be interested in knowing
that the new IE10 has been improved over IE9 nope I'll keep quiet about the checker
I will only mention things pertaining to teardrops.
so I'm all ears what do you have for us today about teardrops that I could find useful?

suckerpunched please take it in the manor I offer it all in fun
I like you enjoy reading about someone's build or new widget that they found.
