Having a reading disorder is a pretty good excuse, so it doesn’t conflict with anything I said. If your education suffered due to some sort of systemic oppression, that is also a pretty good excuse. My uncle that thinks the word “our” is “are” even though he graduated from the same high school as my mom and with similar grades, is just an idiot. Thanks for trying.

But does it matter? If he’s around a lot of beginning language learners, it could hamper understanding, but otherwise it’s just not in keeping with conventions.

Pronouncing it that way is fine. Spelling it that way, on the other hand, just ain’t.
