I'd say most people want others to at least think they are smart, so they'd prefer to spell correctly; only the laziest don't care about it one way or the other. And nobody wants to look inferior or stupid.

I agree with the article that downplaying spelling in schools has contributed to the general malaise, and should be re-emphasized in early schooling.
