I won't argue with that so much as point out that different people feel differently about, for example, "vernacularly-spelled dialogue".
Heck, some people would ding me for "vernacularly", since it's not a word according to Firefox.
So it becomes very complicated. It's easy to note that "ther" for "there" is mis-spelled and No Certification For You. It's harder when it's "dere" for "there" and it's being spoken in dialogue by a crusty old sea captain with only three teeth, liberally blackened from tobacco use.
