I have met many, many hearing and deaf with very poor writing/spelling skills. So, No, it isn't a "deaf thing". I believe it's lack of education.
As for hearing, some can "speak" what they want/need to say, but cannot spell/write it....and for some deaf, they can sign what they need/want to say, but cannot get it in correct word order.
I do believe that it why many deafies don't post on the Forums because of their poor English......and as for the hearies, whenever they had to "write" something down for me, and could not spell the words, they would become all "flustered" and ignore me. So....before any Hearie who assumes or thinks the deafies are dumb...let them come to AD!...They would get an education right off the bat! And question their own intellect!
