Be judged!

No, no. Seriously though, I realize proofreading is tedious and a spellchecker makes it less so. However, I do appreciate good writing, and that usually involves some proofreading and analysis on what people are trying to say. Spelling, to me, is just the first part. I read a couple hundred emails a day from intelligent, technical people who, for their spelling and grammar mistakes and their inability to form ideas into words, shouldn't have passed high school English.

I attribute this to the rising popularity of spellcheckers.

(Also, I make mistakes all the gd time. That's why I made a preview button.)

(Fun side note: I once corrected a family member on Facebook on one of her status updates. At first she responded cheerily, laughing at her mistake. Her response had a spelling error, and was in text speak. I mentioned this. She responded more abrasively. Her response had another error. I mentioned this. She has now blocked me from her status updates.)
