Of course, that's why it's even more amusing that I misspelled "number" as Trevor pointed out in the comments. Nevertheless, I think that these are even more of a pitfall for those that may hear or talk a lot but not necessarily write down things. It's something that I see far too often, that's for sure! @HMTKSteve
Oh that’s a good one!

The cases you mention don't get picked up by spell check. I know how easy it is to get in a hurry and have your fingers type the wrong word, when your brain knows exactly what you mean. But, there isn't any excuse for a really misspelled word....unless you are from Texas, where our spelling is different anyway (lol). It's a good list of ones to remember to check. I'll have to keep the list beside me. I’m more particular about words that are actually misspelled. The cases you mention don’t get picked up by spell check.

I definitely think that a lot of what you reference goes on. People can hear someone else say something and then repeat it as if they know what it means. When they write it out, however, it definitely will show that they don't exactly know what they are doing. And that is just unfortunate! @chil

I must admit that's pretty laughable. You would think with Firefox and its inline spelling that mistakes would be held to a minimum. In any case, thanks for ridiculing my ironic mistake. Much thanks. :D @Trevor
