2) Because your complicated assassination plot can be foiled by misspelling “police:”

FARC guerillas fail in bid to kill defence minister after spelling mistake

Colombia’s security forces have foiled a plot by Marxists rebels to assassinate the defence minister – although its chances of success were probably small as the guerrillas had misspelled “policia” on their repainted police motorbikes.

4) Because your white supremacist CONFERENCE can be revealed as a meeting of inbred rednecks:

8.) Because shouting “death to all juice” will make you thirsty, while Zionist juice would at least be something to drink:

9.) Because everyone needs freedom, but so few appreciate fredom. Fredom is the freedom to make a spelling error in as many as three languages at one time.
