OK, I think I understand now. (Thanks Eva-Lise!) My mistake.
I don't think it is fair for person B to be able to hold spelling
(or any other criticism) against person A if person B doesn't think
spelling is important. If you criticize based on X then you should
be able to receive criticism based on X. If person A doesn't think
spelling is important, they will just ignore the criticism (but
it wouldn't be fair for person A to criticize someone else for
spelling then).
I could be wrong about this. What does everybody else think?
