That didn't seem unpleasant to me. What I find annoying is that once posted, one can't correct spelling oneself. I often don't realize I've made a mistake until after I post. I suppose I could be more careful but then I would have to care more about the final package than I do.
Maybe but English only got to be the way it is by being mangled and evolving freely for many years. You can't point to anyone one step in its evolution and say "here we have reached the zenith".

I don't see why the orthography of a language should change just because you have a different accent or live in a different country. We speak and write English. It is the English peoples language.
