Don't criticize him for that. Most younger people can't spell. There is no emphasis on grammar, punctuation and usage in high school, let alone spelling.
Most people don't have a grammar book at home to use for checking usage, either.
I learned a long time ago, as a translator, and as an American living in foreign countries, that if you learn the foreigner's language so well that you make no mistakes in spelling, they give you much more respect than you could ever earn any other way.
But the advent of texting favors economy over correct spelling .
It kills more than that, in the long run.
