Judging from your tone, you sure tried to imply it.
Now shut the fuck up until you've learnt the fundamentals of spelling your own fucking language, Stupidboy!

Always seeing "implied" conspiracies [flame warning]
until you've learnt the fundamentals of spelling your own fucking language
My own language? I called it "L" so that it is nearly impossible to mispell. Or did you mean English? That ain't "my" language. I just got stuck with it. It is like being forced to use OOP when I am really a table-head. The fault is with the language for not being fonetic. Your stupid ancestores are probably the ones who fuhked it up. They probably made it arbitrary and random just so that they had a reason to torture people who misspailed stuff.

No, I did not.
I was simply pointing out that just because somebody is bad at X, it does NOT necessarily follow they are also bad at A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,Y and Z.
I could have used Mark Tanderma as an example instead of Einstein, but since nobody here heard of him, the point would be lost. Think about it.

No, he wasn't
He didn't talk much as a toddler. He was busy figuring out the world. It probably took a long time for him to formulate a question that he couldn't answer for himself.
His language skills were perfect - his papers read like detailed instruction manuals for assembling the world.
(Gah I hate the "Einstein was really stupid!" rumors.)

Debatable
Various web sources I looked at shows no consensus. The biggest issue seems to be the age period of when he allegedly had it. Most of the information collected on him was later in his life, when he appeared to had gotten over it. Dyslexia was not well understood at that time of his childhood.
But, I have no info on whether he was a good speller or not. It is a pedantic argument anyhow. Only an idiot would use spelling as a primary IQ test.

"communication" is not the problem
Some people get mentally "trapped" in a mispelled world because it starts firing off all their pedanticity neurons, not because it is "hard to figure out".
You have to train your mind to ignore certain things that "set if off".
Good spelling is a nice bonus, but clarity is the most important trait, and following all the rules does not guarenty clarity.

Whatever.
Correct use of the English language maximises your ability to communicate your message.
That is all.
If you are too lazy or too stupid to use English properly, might I suggest that you learn a language that's more "regular", like Esperanto?

99.99% versus 100% when there are bigger factors to fry
Correct use of the English language maximises your ability to communicate your message.
Ashton's writing is almost impossible for me to figure out. But it is not due to bad grammar nor bad spelling, but something else.
What specifically are you complaining about anyhow?

and you are an Idiot-Pedant
I type "fundimental" instead of "fundamental", and it slows you down 0.00001 percent? Boo fscking hoo hoo!
I don't even notice those kinds of things for the most part. Why do they slow you down and not me? You must be defective somewhere if they stump your head.
"reduces communication" my ass. Idiots!

The Yugo runs even on crappy gasoline, too.
Porsches, OTOH, need high-octane stuff with no impurities in it.
Input matters, and precision machinery is often more demanding in this respect than some rugged old farm-yard tractor.
I'll explain this analogy further, if you really want me to.

Re: and you are an Idiot-Pedant
You quoted the "Web", the Vast Agglomeration of Mostly Useless Trivia
and Self-Indulgent Blogs, as an authority. I quoted a book written by
his most respected biographer (Pais, "Subtle is the Lord"), who worked
with him directly in his later years. Surely you don't think of the "Web"
as a first source of information for real questions.
What's the point here? Some people who are too lazy to clean up their
language skills trot out the crutch of dyslexia and its "famous genius
sufferers" - it's delusional. I suppose E was also gay, and black, and Soviet.

And his insight was not limited to 'science' either -
As you may recall, he was approached to become the first President of the new Israel. He respectfully declined. His philosophical comments are gems of wisdom (too). Samples:
"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction."
"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."
Table boy's opinions of Mr. E. are about as valid as Jerry Foulwell's on God.
