Too much importance is placed upon correct spelling and grammar.
Creativity.
Some of the best fiction doesn't constrain itself with the conventional rules of spelling, grammar and vocabulary. Playing with new words can have a humorous or satirical effect and non standard sentence structures are useful for portraying dream sequences etc. where the reader's mind needs to be disrupted for a surreal effect. Many invented words are adopted into the dictionary.

Grammar, yes. Spelling, no. Bending the rules of grammar is fine so long as it helps rather than hurts the readability, but poor spelling always makes things harder to read.

> but poor spelling always makes things harder to read
The vast majority of communication is now SMS, textese, chatspeak. 4.3 trillion messages, with punctuation, capitalization, grammar and vowels are tossed aside for creations that are recognizable abbreviations of real words. Numbers often replace letters.
