This is a topic that often comes up nowadays. Used to be that is was a 
rarity to see spelling or grammer errors in the newspapers or magazines. Now 
it is almost a certainty that there will be errors in every page it seems. 
Some people are just born good at spelling, some at numbers.
Personally , I think that spell check is contributing to a lot of bad 
spelling and mistakes. I try never to criticize anyone else's spelling since 
I can be as guilty as the next guy.. My Dad used to mis-spell words 
occasionally. I don't think he really liked young whipper-snappers 
correcting his mistakes.
