If the audience can fully understand...
Mostly well said, especially about throwing in $10 words willy-nilly. Unfortunately, Nustada has fallen prey to a common misconception started by well-meaning elementary school teachers decades ago, that spelling and grammar are irrelevant. Language communicates ideas only as well as it is understood, and understanding any code such as English is based on undertanding the rules for that code. Mistakes (violations of the rules) decrease intelligibility and weaken the writer's carefully crafted prose.
