I disagree with that one!
I remember (in the 1960's) losing marks for bad grammar/spelling on science 
projects (by teachers who were not english teachers). -5SP was the designation.

I remember when my (now 18) son would do projects and, when I complained about 
his spelling, the teacher would say "who cares? He's communicating"!

Communication only works when you are all using a common language. If everybody 
spells randomly, where's the commonality?
