is The Two S's:
1. speed - which you said in your posting
2. spelling - which many people refuse to do

"... only a very few individuals understand as yet that personal salvation is a contradiction in terms."
foreign speakers of a language will mispronounce some words occasionally - rarely a whole sentence (unless they have a really strong accent), so you as speaker just spell the word that is not pronounced well. The problem is that some people -- too many -- refuse to halt the conversation a moment to do that even when it is obvious the speaker is not understood [in rare instances, it is not obvious and the listener thinks he/she understands the speaker]

Generally considered to be two different productive linguistic activities.
I know people with excellent pronunciation who can't spell for toffee. Additionally, dyslexia would disprove your point.
Making assumptions about people's ability to spell based on their pronunciation does not always correlate as you would expect.
