you make a question, and then someone is commenting you about spelling a word wrong?
I hate that, I just asked a question and spelt ONE word wrong, it wasn't even that bad I just added an extra letter in there, and some were saying "oh that's not how you spell it."

I agree and don't like it either. Cambridge University researched this very subject and found that the human mind does not read every word by itself but the word as a whole. The only important thing is, is that the first and last letter be in the right place. The majority of people can actually read the following, which is full of typographical errors. On q&a, we don't profess to be typing professionals and shouldn't be held to perfection. If our meaning is clear and the question is not silly or nonsensical, then answers that are just mean are not necessary. I bet you can read the following with no problem....

I usually slide right by such comments as they are impolite and often exclude the answer to the question. Have gotten quite a few Best Answer awards I did not expect from people with maybe less schooling or obviously struggling with the quixotic English language by simply responding to the intent, rather than the grammar. Lots of people who can't spell are CEO's of major corporations and can afford my rates for editing services as they had the ambition I didn't and are quite willing to support me for my lazy skill in exchange for polishing their presentations. Y!A is a major bartering system for mutual education and profit as well as fun, and guess what, my name is neither Webster nor attached to the award for typist of the year.

Absolutely, just answer the question and move on. There's no need to comment about things as trivial as this. Plus, it is insulting to the asker and that rude.
