Speling was not one of my strong points in skool. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
It's still not that strong of a skill today. Spell check dumbs folks. You can tell from time to time, reading (most everything), that writers rely on technology to spell many things for them. Spell check makes mistakes. Often in grammar, so they stand out.
