What is the most often...

My computer does the little red squiggle underline when typing, indicating a muspelled wrd. Right click and get the crect spellin.

My browser spell checks as I type and underlines misspelled words (both Firefox and Chrome do this).

Anything worth doing, is worth doing right! It doesn't take that much effort. A well written and correctly spelled comment is much easier to read and understand. Most browsers will do spell check for you but they have limitations. I realize some participants here say it is no big deal but putting some effort into writing correctly is important to me. If you cannot distinguish simple spelling mistakes and make corrections you must not really care much about what you are saying. Some will take issue with this point of view but like it or not being able to communicate well in written form has immense benefits in the real world. All of us will occasionally make an error we miss when writing and that is not the issue. Constantly abusing the language in written form will get you written off as uneducated, and not someone to take seriously. Just my opinion.

This would be a great thread for the black abyss of the "Around the Campfire" section.

Seriously... how difficult is it to spell check?

Does anyone proof read anymore?

That would be "proofread" and yes, some still do.

My favorite is "break" instead of "brake"
