Then perhaps you need to get out more...
Kidding aside, I'm curious what it is that makes you think this. My
experience with other kinds of people that I've met has been much the same.
Most of the Mexicans I know, for example, have worse spelling in Spanish
than I do, and that's a pretty low thing to compare it with. (Though the
Colombians I know are quite literate...)
