Writing is different from speaking or talking in a casual manner - 95% of us are good in spelling but what's good in speeling if you pronounce it wrong? To us, we understand it but what about those people that english is their native dialect? They get confused too... I, for one had a difficulty of communicating because my pronunciation is different from theirs... I f you don't beleive me, try communicating or talking to an American and you'll find out.
