Ejaan Itu Penting?

Dapat cerita ni daripada drama the Guardian.
Kisah perbualan antara seorang anak dan ayah.
Si ayah telah membaca karangan si anak dan dia mendapati anaknya mempunyai bakat mengarang. Tetapi dia terperasan satu kekurangan dalam karya anaknya itu. Terlalu banyak kesalahan ejaan. Beginilah dialog antara dua beranak tu;

BURTON I got a chance to look at your Gettysburg paper.
SHANNON: I worked real hard on that.
BURTON: Really hard.
SHANNON: Right. That’s what I said.
BURTON: Well, you got some great ideas in there. But, um, your spelling -your syntax is all over the map.
SHANNON: My teacher says spelling doesn’t
count.
BURTON: It counts, honey.
SHANNON: She says we should be free to express ourselves.
BURTON: Right. Well, that’s a lot of crap.
SHANNON: What?
BURTON: Well, spelling counts, honey. It’s important. You ever see a clown at an ice show? He looks like he can’t skate at all, but he’s very funny.
SHANNON: Yeah.
BURTON: Okay. Well, the reason he can do that is not because he’s a bad skater, it’s because he’s a very good skater.
SHANNON: I don’t get it.
BURTON: Well, if you wanna spell badly, first learn how to spell well, okay?

Adakah ejaan itu penting, anda boleh lihat pendapat ramai di sini
Bagi penulis, jika perkara kecil pun anda tidak boleh uruskan, bagaimana ingin selesaikan yang lebih besar daripada itu?

Zaman siber pun mementingkan ejaan, kalau alamat emel tersalah hatta satu huruf pun, kiriman itu tidak akan sampai. Kamus pun mementingkan ejaan.
Anda rasa anda boleh baca gambar di atas jika anda tidak tahu ejaan yang betul?
