Got through school inspite of poor spelling skills. Only time ever failed a class... Money, Banking and Credit. Research paper. Misspelled "having" 18 times in 40 pages. Three points each. Cost me big time. Professor had a problem with my adding a "e" to "having." Next time through (like I said... cost me big time), whited out "haveing" and inserted "having." Big difference... Would have kept my A and not had to repeat the class if I'd not added at little "e" to the word. Thank God for Spellcheck! Sincerely. bruce.

I wonder if proof readers even exist any longer.
Judging from what I've seen, that would be NO! And the Big 3, WaPo, NYTs and LATs are the biggest offenders. Evidently they don't push spelling or grammar in "Journalism School" any longer.
On another note, punctuation is also important, as shown below:

In my case, I was good at spelling, then had a blood clot stroke. The stroke was brought on by a bad heart valve. It messed up my eye sight, my short term memory and my spelling.
I add letters, start with the wrong letter and draw a blank on how to spell some words. Some words never look right which makes reading them difficult. If it wasn't for spell check, I would be lost most of the time. As has been said many times, getting old id no funComment
