It still doesn't mean that spelling isn't important, just that one should be able to read whatever is said (of course this doesn't even apply with typing like "hay gaiz wutz gong on in thi stopicks?"). Online, where no one can see you, spelling is one of the few things that people can judge you on. If you spell as bad as in that example, people will most likely look down on you somewhat. People who try to come across clearly and intelligibly are by nature going to be more respected from the beginning.

I try to spell as good as I can, but I make typos. Spelling, at least while reading it, is not that important to me...and usually when I chat to people on instant messengers, they make typos similar to those mispelled above. They have the first and last letter in the right place, then accidentally mistype the rest. I wondered why I always read over those kinds of typos, until I saw that.

Lol OpaQue, I can give you a cost-effective tip for free : whenever ready to date a girl by mail, just give yourself a moment to take a hard look at the way she spells her words. If you don't, I'd bet she will do that for you on her side, anyway, if she has got an ounce of brains. Usually, it's kinda sobering. Plus you can avoid a lot of problems and misunderstandings looming ahead. Weirdos tend to write weird these days. Cheers, all

You still need to know how the word is spelled properly in the first place before you can interpret a jumbled-up word.

When you get into business or IT terms (I'm sure in many other area's as well) that doesn't help as many of words can be re-arranged to have more than one meaning and still be grammatical in a sentence. Not to mention the time it may take to unscramble a large document with a continuous stream of even larger words
 . Also, if the text is in a language that is not native to your own, then you'll come into many problems as well (unless your fluent of course). When your chatting with a friend, who really cares if you or them make a mistake. If your working however... you can imagine the problems
