No comment, I simply do not agree since interpreting it is too simple for it to be called that.
If you had to re-read more than even one word or slow down your normal reading speed, 'scrutinization' is the correct term.

Perhaps, but I find that unlikely. Rather the opposite; not being my native language, and with me "struggling" to understand fluent English, I should have even more problem with understanding an incomplete or grammatically wrong sentence, while being fluent in the language should make you able to interpret every possible meaning of a sentence with much more ease.
Yes, maybe, but if you come from the same background as the person using improper English, it can be easy to see the meaning they were trying to achieve. (They would do as you do.)

I never said that spelling isn't important, I just said that anyone who said that they can't read that, and still are fluent in English can not have read through it at all.
I'm relatively certain jenslyn didn't mean that he couldn't
read it, but that it did not provide for ease of reading.

I will not go into a discussion about the differences between a pictographic alphabet and the Latin alphabet right now, but I must disagree there as well, since it can have quite different result to do the above mentioned mistake compared to a misspelling.
It's generally prudent to support your claims with evidence. And while I agree that a misplaced stroke can have a meaning on a different type than a misspelling, you shouldn't disregard that it can.
