People Who Hate Spelling Nazis Need Not Read

I'm just in the middle of a short story, and the author had confused 'their' and 'they're'.  I was puzzling over the sentence for a full minute, until I guessed what was going on. 

Now, I do not believe the entire e-story industry should revolve around my desire to avoid being confused for even 1 minute.  But I'm now becoming afraid of whether it is even possible to demand orthographic accuracy from my fellow-citizens.  I can imagine everybody thinking: Jeeze, the whole world is going to hell, and you want accurate spelling???

OK, well no.  Spell your words however you want; I would not deign to jump in the middle of these bleeding Iranian schoolchildren, and these gilded high-security ballrooms and these multi-billion-dollar thefts of public funds, and these shameless lawsuits to prevent citizens from voting, just to insist on good spelling; no sir, not I.  But listen, there are obviously a few leftover Boomers to spellcheck official government documents, so that uneducated goons like hegseth and whatsisname—the secretary of state—can dash off screeds to be later cleaned up by spelling flunkies.  But think long-term.  Ten years from now, who's going to do this unrewarding editing?  Just so that, in my old age, I will be saved minor peaks of blood pressure while reading fiction?  (Or governmental vitriol?)

I know; while impeaching the prez (affectionately called "the former president" by furious people, who don't even want to give him the recognition of being the elected head of state) the last thing we ought to be doing is worrying about spelling.  But this is how I keep sane.  The agitators advise: don't let this corruption become normalized!!  If this is going to be the way government will be run in the future, every group that doesn't like the policies of whoever is in power will adopt these MAGA-type tactics to render the Federal government ineffective.  This is the long-range objective of the Steve Bannons, the permanently angry podcasters out there. 

But no matter in what stage the destruction of the government is in, I have to remain sane.  So while I briefly allow my blood to run cold at the insane actions of Trump and his non-aligned ducks, I quickly come back to the sane world of women's fiction!  And, of course, rail against the wrong use of words.

I have to concede: it's not exactly about spelling as such; it's about the correct use of various words that sound alike.
