Given the context of your post, I would suggest starting with the basics. Taking the time to learn how to write properly may give you some ability to speak properly.
I don't know if this is typo or if you think your issue is as big as the ocean.
Given the context of the post, that they're asking for help, picking on this seems needless and unsympathetic. Given their own acknowledged problems with speech I don't see why making a joke about their writing would seem helpful or appropriate.
I was actually being dead serious.
You deadly seriously didn't know if they were talking about the Pacific Ocean? In a post about someone who has trouble speaking clearly, in a reply clearly establishing you were aware there were writing errors, zeroing in on a word well known to be accidentally substituted for the word "specifically" by some speakers. You deadly seriously didn't know?
I've never actually seen someone write out "pacific" in such a way and it's quite plausible that people mishear something and presume it to be true based on other context - such as an issue as big as an ocean. Yes. It happens a lot.
