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.
