    I’m no Trump supporter (fuck the fat orange pedophile), but you shouldn’t accuse someone of dementia when you can’t even spell the word yourself. (Trump absolutely does have it, though.)

      You never know whether a stranger on the internet is dyslexic. It might be preferable to let a spelling error slide rather than attack someone for what might be a disability they can’t help. Plus there are plenty of people for whom English is not their first language. And then there are people who are just bad at spelling, but it doesn’t really matter.

      If I had to make a choice between not having dementia and having perfect spelling, the spelling would have to fall by the wayside, despite the annoyance that I’d have to put up with from punctilious knobheads who mistake ability to spell for intelligence.
