Amen. As an American English speaker I cannot abide they way we systematically abuse the English language. Yes, we Yanks have our regional accents and colloquialisms but dammit man, learn how to use the language correctly! My father taught me that "the limits of your language are the limits of your world." He was correct. The way we casually accept misspellings, punctuation misuse, and generally pervert the English language is criminal. Of course, I was educated by the Nuns who would spank you if you used 'past' instead of 'passed.' (But I really kinda' dug it.)

It's the same in Germany. A professor told my friends son "don't mind spelling correctly. As long as the content is correct. "<rant mode on>

Unfortunately. The days where you could save lives by correct spelling and grammar seem to have gone.

I did initially give the OP a pass (did I use it right ) because I thought perhaps English was not his first language, but then I checked location, and said Toronto, and thought .
Then I thought, perhaps it is still not his native language, given how transient people are nowadays.
Then I thought, life is too short, and the time I spent typing this message could be better spent elsewhere, then I thought, dammit, am committed now, so best hit post reply
Have a great weekend folks

Boris and Trust were one of the last people she saw, besides her family.
As we are talking about spelling can we get our Prime Minister's name correct; it is Liz Truss.

Well,
Youre right...i should have put Margaret Thatcher insteas of Boris....i mean, that was an entire decade
English was not my first language. I blame autocorrect! Couldn't edit title after realizing the mistake. Life goes on. Move on with your lives people!
