How do you feel for your spelling mistakes ?

Sometimes when I post a comment, just after submitting I realize that I made a spelling mistake and then I feel awkward about it. When I observe other posts I saw that other users are also facing the same problem.
I want to know whether you just ignore it or feel something about it.
[Note: I checked this post thoroughly for spelling mistakes :) ]

I try and double check them, but when the mind is rather going quickly, mistakes are bound to be made. Of course, its funny, the majority of the mistakes that I catch shortly after the fact are the small, annoying types of mistakes that really when one thinks about it, no one but myself is going to completely notice in any way whatsoever anyway. Yet they still bug me. Go figure.
So yes, I try to get it where at least people can understand what I'm saying. On the Internet, that is often half of the battle being one. Of course, nitpickers will nitpick, and in fact I'm likely going to be one of the bigger ones to my work. However, that is really just the nature of the game and something can look okay to you, because sometimes when you type, you see what you expect to see.

Sometimes I make a mistake, but usually I check it. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine. If I'm typing and I see a word spelled wrong it bugs me so I have to go back and fix it. Sometimes it bothers me when people have tons of spelling mistakes. One or two isn't that bad, but it sometimes gets to a point where you question their intelligence.

in most cases, i check my post before submitting. but some spelling mistakes can not be avoided. when i find them, i feel sorry but i have no way to correct them. i hope mylot can permit us to correct our own mistakes or can mark out spelling mistakes.
