I think of spelling as an organic thing, just as words come in and out of favour and usage, and spelling changes with trips across the pond. I even like expressing myself in all lower case or upper case letters.
Punctuation, on the other hand, drives me bananas. Periods, commas, and semicolons; these are what gives the English language its vivacity for me.
