Agree totally.  Fiction can be most powerful form of truth.  If I
had my druthers, people would either learn to spell or perhaps learn how
to use their spell checker.  Problem is, we tend to judge people
by their use of language.  If it is at third grade level we tend to think
of
their mental development at third grade level.  This is not fair to them,
but that's the way it is.  One of the big complainers on this net doesn't
know (apparently) the difference between their and there.  Jeez! OK,
there is such a thing as dislexia, and it has no connection with
intelligence per se.  But if you aren't dislexic, what's your excuse?
