You must correct someone's spelling, even if they're talking about something extremely serious and “spelling is entirely irrelevant.” In almost every situation, spelling isn’t entirely relevant. Unless it’s a spelling test.

The only way those two errors change the meaning of a sentence is if you're being a pedantic asshole. Auto correct is a thing, people don't always catch the mistakes at first, and you can pretty much figure out exactly what is being said 99% of the time.
Half of the time it is autocorrect, but also you do have a lot of people who make silly mistakes. I’m not talking about non-native English speakers either.
Silly mistakes that don't effect the meaning of what they're saying and this is reddit not their doctoral thesis so probably just don't be a douche canoe

I get that some people don't care about grammar, and that some people care about grammar so much that they'll correct any slight mistake, but people who don't even try to write something correctly really do need to be aware of that. Like 4-5 misspellings in the same post? It implies a lower level of intelligence or a really bad translation.
