PLEASE DO! Wokeness harms the people it claims to help.
I recall back when I was in college (in the early 70's) and this nonsense was beginning to gear up. I recall being outraged at the concept of "ebonics" wherein students of a specific ethnicity were allowed to turn assignments in written in "street language". The rest of us had to adhere to proper grammar.
When we protested this practice, we were lectured on our lack of "empathy" for the disadvantaged. When we pointed out that failing to correct the disadvantaged caused them to graduate unemployable -- we were basically told to shut up.
I often wonder what happened to these people the university pushed through. Some could not construct a coherent sentence and yet received their degrees. They did those students no favors.

I got a 3-day ban for suggesting spelling corrections here.
People complained because I wanted to help them. What does that tell you?
It's not just a matter of "poor spelling"; it's using the wrong word (wrong meaning).
Now I don't bother to help. I just downvote.
Spellchecker probably wasn't working that day.
