I am having a debate with someone at the moment ..this person has presented themselves as someone who can in no way tolerate bad spelling and or grammar yet at the same time i feel they are casting stones while living in glass houses. Could you please tell me if the below are correct.
Sample number 1
I find it hard to make excuses for adults concerning spelling and even grammar! Whenever I have gotten emails with spelling mistakes or poor grammar, it takes away from the impact of the message in my opinion!
It is a BIG TURNOFF. Plain and simple.

GOTTEN??...is that a word?
Sample number 2
And before anyone says anything about the spelling of my anonymous handle? It is spelled this way for a certain reason.
---------------------------------------------------
It is SPELLED this way for a ceertain reason??? SPELLED???
gotten- used in American English
spelled- alternative form of 'spelt'- some verbs can use -t or -ed
