I'm a bad speller. At some point I improved, but on the early days of the internet I would intentionally misspell things as it just got some folks really going like a light switch ;)

It still does.
I'm not sure what benefit it is for people to point out such mistakes, but my biggest problem comes from glide typing. Often, my device decides it knows better what word I intended than what I actually intended. I've gotten to the point where I don't especially care about those mistakes either if it's an otherwise unimportant conversation.
I think there are just some people who care entirely too much about trivialities. It may be maturity, though. Where do you invest your energy? When you're younger, minutia can seem far more important than it does when you're older. It's still worth showing them some grace—they'll learn. Eventually. Maybe.
I don’t know if I’ve gotten lazier or the swipe typing has gotten worse but sometimes I compose entire paragraphs and then look down and see it’s mangled half the words.
I have to spend more time fixing the mistakes than I used to because when it goes off the rails it becomes unreadable. vs just messing up little stuff.
