And a text with a lot of spelling mistakes is not the same as the text with correct spelling.

@tompe - many people do not spell well, however virtually all text editors today contain spell-checking so it's mainly correctly spelled context errors that creep in. As an author (I'm not), I would expect any author with any degree of self-respect to engage at least a friend, if not an editor, to proof-read my work before risking public censure for sloppiness. No argument, just thinking out loud ...

Some authors write in longhand. And some authors are dyslectic. And the editor fixes this. What I objected to was the opinion that you could not be an author selling a lot of books if you could not spell.
