What is with all the phonetic misspellings? Are we living in an age that is losing the ability to write and transitioning back to an oral society?

Spelling has not always been so codified. I don't think we're losing the ability to write though - it's more like written communication is far more accessible to more people than it has ever been previously. You'll have a spectrum of skill for one but also we have incredible diversity.
And then, of course, our brain has its own quirks.
