This burns me in my soul.

Since I read all the time and write a lot, an emphatic YES. Besides, reading bad spelling and grammar is almost physically painful >_< I can't even use textspeak except to be ironic.

This exists in multiple languages. And the most interesting thing - it is false, it only works sometimes and of course the words above are twisted in a way to make it readable (Cambridge never did something like this). I'm also an example, because the German version featured the word "Bahhuctsnbeverderer" (or something similar ;)) = "Buchstabenverdreher", which I read (at first glance) as "Buchstabenverhedderer". While it means more or less the same, I definitely read another word, proving this theory wrong.

Also, I suggest anyone who has problems with spelling to use Firefox and one of this add-ons. I use the British one and I'm quite happy with it.
If  ;), :D, ;D, ::), :P, :-X, :o or >:D are attached, that paragraph may not be 100% serious. Seriously.

Its more of a betrayal. Sorry but I think there is a chance my spelling and grammar are improving. That or I'm getting used to checking for mistakes.

Looks like you are using a spell-checker, just like me - all of them are mistakes the spell-checker will not notice...

Yeah, spell checkers don't always (or ever, really) find grammatical errors.  That's one problem with them, and one reason why it's always a good idea to read things over.

Yeah but I'm improving my grammar a little. Plus i said before in other topics I use a spell checker, but often forget to actually use it.
