I don't teach spelling. And it doesn't lower my students' hand-written essay grades if they mess up with spelling, as long as it's understandable. As I read their essays (many of them very thoughtful!) on The Great Gatsby, I found a surprising variety for ways of spelling "Myrtle."
Martyle
Merlin
Mertal
Mertil
Mertin
Merytial
Merytile
Mrytle
Myrle
Myrtile
Myrttle
