Worse than the failure, or worse than your noticing?
hey, if I can't tell the diffrents in actual spelling by the way the word sounds, then I'm going to be shaky on how to spell it, or even noticing how it's spelled. Desert, dessert and .... *expletive deleted*it .... One means dry, arid place, one means to leave in a not so nice way, and one is tasty treat after a good meal, is one hell on those of us who spell based on sound (yes, I know the big fancy word for that, but I can't spell it)
The point is, when someone like me can see mistakes, someone else has some real problems.
And mike, lingual evolution is one thing, but the "over house"/"over to house" thing isn't exactly a good direction for evolution. Language should aid communication, not screw it up.
