I can only comment on the basis of these posts.
Elizabeth, you rarely make spelling mistakes; I think
I make more, because I type too quickly and don't
reread my posts or use the spell-check on them. (I've
come, since writing here so much and sometimes typing
missing pages rather than scanning them, to be a
pretty decent touch typist which I never was before;
now my fingers seem to find their way automatically to
the right keys most of the time. Thank you all, and
bookshare, for that.)
However, many more people make a lot of spelling
mistakes, and I don't think it's careless typing
because the words sound like they're supposed to. I
make the assumption that they hear the words and don't
realize they're spelling them incorrectly.
