Have you ever seen the study done by a Havard psycologist that prooved that if the first and last letter of a word are correct the letters in the middle don't matter.

First, there was no such study done at Cambridge. Second, it's not true.
False or not, I had no problem reading that sentence.

Because this is the internet. My question is: why are you asking people why they care when you obviously care yourself? No one cares about anything on the internet and people act like $%^&s for lols. 99% of the people who do things like "rogue*" honestly don't care if someone spelled it incorrectly.

Actually, it's false information that this came from Cambridge. If anything, it came out of Edinburgh University. See snopes.com. (It is not cited as being true OR false)

In short, it all originated from an unpublished PhD Thesis, 1976, Nottingham University, by Graham Rawlinson.
The first published reference is by the same man in 1999:

I think it's really, really interesting the levels of 'hate' this thread has brought about, and how many people care about different things.
I think it's time we all grew up, myself included, and spent less time on an internet forum correcting grammar and spelling. It really is the sign of someone with nothing to do.
I agree, I'm sad. Perhaps I should be spending my time in the gym or something, rather than this. But I'm interested to see what you all say when I say the truth.
We're all really sad. We need to spend our time more 'wisely' and stop being immature dic**eads on the internet.
I'm sorry, but that's the lamest excuse for an argument: "You're immature, and wrong; I'm right."
