i mean most of us abreviate here and to see people with comebacks like "you should learn to spell" or "can you spell" its real annoying ?

They're not comebacks.. But it really pisses some of us off how some people can't do the simple task, when they shouldn't even be in school if they spell that bad, of putting a little extra effort into making their messages legible.

I only complain when the spelling comes in the way of comfortably reading it.

Most users don't care, however when you get a wall of text which doesn't have any punctuation it gets hard to read and understand, therefore people complain.

Because it's not a chat room. And it doesn't take that long to at least make a decent attempt at proper grammar.

Considering this is a text based format, I would say it's only common sense to use proper spelling and grammar. Would you read a book that was full of improper spelling and grammar?

I've never complained, but there is a spell check button right there next to the emoticon button.  It just takes a second to push before you click 'submit'

Is that rully that herd ta do?

Personally, it's shows not only sloth but lack of intelligence. Although both typically go hand in hand.

You've kinda defeated yourself here. I can barely decipher your post beyond 'stop tellin me ta spell gud'. Seriously though, it is kind of dodgey in the end.
