You know the word is spelled wrong yet you insist on thinking you are correct and will not take time to use the spellcheck on your computer.

I seldom use it for very short e-mails or comments, but whenever I put something longer out there, I want it to be as free of errors as I can possibly make it.
In a way, when we refuse to take the time to make our writing correct, we are showing that we think our words are so valuable that the recipient will take time to read them no matter how many spelling errors we make. That is an untrue assumption in most cases.
Lots of times, I have started to read something that has words spelled incorrectly, and I just stop reading, and toss it away. I think that if the writer didn't care enough to correct his spelling, then I don't care enough to waste my time reading it.
