The two words mean very different things.\
Katıl = mingle
Katil = slaughter
It would be easy with an english keyboard to say the wrong thing. What do native speakers assume when there is a word with "dotted i", that might be ı?

I imagine they would make an educated guess! If you said that you were "going to mingle with people" I can't imagine they would think you said you were "going to slaughter with people".
Unless of course, you were a butcher.... 
....or a psychopath

yeah exactly i agree..
the practice is very needed to get something better especially as turkish has also sometimes own characteristics out of grammer...
i always use english letters in my written conversations (but informal) instead of ı,ş,ğ,ç,ö,ü while typing and noone misunderstood me up to now

That's not "katil", but "katletmek" : (v) slaughter
katliam : (n) slaughter
kâtil : murderer
katil zanlısı : suspect of murder
